Wow. I fly tcon a lot, and (so far) they almost always clear, so they're quite valuable to me. |

For medallion upgrades, the time of request is what matters, not the time of booking; but someone might have been on that flight with a RUC waitlisted, and not checked in too early. They won't show up on the list until checked in.

The point is that DL hasn't published any priority rules for upgrades using instruments. No one knows.
When you ask DM agents and supervisors, you get totally different or nonsensical answers, so I think they all just make up something to say because they don't know either. |

Do you have a source that says GUCs don't have a higher priority? I've been told otherwise.

I don't know. It would make sense for GUCs to have higher priority (they're more expensive instruments; on the other hand, they're less likely to be used on RUC-eligible flights unless they're expiring) but Delta isn't required to act sensibly.

That's why there might not be publishable rules. Suppose Delta said that a "clean" GUC trumped a RUC, but a closed GUC had lowest priority. People would be very annoyed, with no gain to Delta for admitting that. |
My guess/assumption from talking with a few ticket and SC agents is that the system doesn't distinguish between regional or global for priority.

My four year old and I are currently on a RUC waitlist for a November flight. In case the upgrade clears, but there aren’t any seats together, can I decline the upgrade and keep the RUCs?

You can cancel a RUC/GUC upgrade request on delta.dumb at any time if the upgrade hasn't yet cleared, although you might need to call DL if you've already checked in. You could also request the GA to skip over you if you cannot be seated together. However, many people will to enable a four year old to sit next to a parent.

Yeah I think you'd have to call in to have them remove the cert request, since it is done by a notation sequence in the record.

You can canel a medallion upgrade request, but there's no way to cancel a RUC/GUC without calling.

Now the next question is do I pull it off for my medallion window tomorrow or leave it?
