I'm not sure how much of this is due to this promo (as well as the shortcut to elite status) but my MVP friend on the 7:15am EWR-SFO flight is currently 7th (last) on the upgrade list (plus possibly more to check in), and the flight is F3.
That seems like a lot of elites for a 7:15am Wednesday flight between a total non-hub and a "focus city" with questionable focus...

7 Elites on EWR-SFO seems about right.James

The JFK-SFO flight leaving 30 min earlier was F5 with 2 on the waitlist when I checked (I was checking because there was talk of EWR-SFO being oversold -- I was suggesting that my friend try to get moved to JFK-SFO for the almost-garanteed upgrade)
That's quite the discrepancy. Especially considering that EWR-SFO is hub-hub for UA.

SEA-LAX isn’t “back to” the West Coast; it’s ON the west coast

Points not showing up??!
Anyone having issues getting the points? I registered then completed 3 coast to coast flights (yes, the correct departing and arriving locations) but never got the points. I call AS and they said I never registered! I am sure I registered and when I went back to the registration page my browser remembered and had filled in all my info. I re-registered and got to a screen saying my registration was successful, but did not receive an email. I waited and registered again that same day and once again got a page saying successful registration but no email confirmation.
Anyone else having issues?
