I think what they really meant is they aren't supposed to tell you so it was easier to say they can't see rather than say I can see it but won't say.

Usually when/if I call I ask something more vague, like what do you think my chances of clearing the upgrade list? Then most agents will usually respond with something like it looks really good or not good at all. Sometimes they will even say you are #x on the list (but I don't expect a direct response). Also you knowing the number isn't helpful as the list is dynamic.

Technically I think the policy is not to disclose your WL number.

Many thanks. Agent said "odds are good" and so it proved. Upgrade cleared at gate.
