If it's that wide open, I would take yourself off the mileage waitlist and hope the EUA works its magic. Especially if you have a good seat would be ok with it if you didn't get upgraded. But if the UG is that important you would virtually be assured of getting it if you used miles.
ETA: I was wait listed because apparently I didn't clear at T-24.

No, I haven't used the miles option. I was saying that it has been there for me to exercise if I wanted. Personally, I don't see the benefit of burning 15k miles when I can wait for a free upgrade (fingers crossed). Per sbm12, he was saying that they would zero out the R bucket in an attempt to sell the miles option. I don't think they'll take the bait. I know I'm not.

Surprising for me, was that I got upgraded IAH-ATL in a 735 as a silver on an L fare.
