I just pulled the flight. First class is now sold out but coach still has seats. The flight was upgraded 24 hours and 10 minutes prior to departure. Booking code was X (even though it was from my platinum account) and now is showing in R.

As an update the return flight did not clear and I was not added to the airport standby list so it must only work in EAU and not on the battlefield

I wonder where a free ticket EUA fits into the priority mix.

I'm curious where the UA elites fit in (although rather trivial now with the match capability)

Being a total noob with CO upgrades I'm also curious if there is anything award ticket pax can do to help their odds of scoring the EUA (Check in early, split PNRs, etc.) ala UA.
I've got EWR-FLL award flights coming up with a non-status companion on the same PNR later this month. Also curious about how you use the pda site to track waitlists (apologies for the rookie questions
).

Also having the Chase card seems to be key here.
I have my mom flying (trying) down to Costa Rica on an award ticket and when re-routing after several delays today asked if she could be put on the upgrade stand by list as she was flying with a plats miles, the elite gal told me that is only available for chase card holders.
