Yeah, I have received my share of emails of an upgrade to C+ for seats I had chosen weeks earlier but last week I had 2 upgrades to First that I received no notice on which happens frequently these days too.

On Monday, I received the usual congratulatory email from Delta for an "upgrade" to the same seat I got shortly after booking a flight via Expedia a couple of weeks ago. Yesterday, I received an email from Expedia entitled "Flight Upgrade for AYSK UADL" and, lo and behold, I had been upgraded to First on that flight (tomorrow). Interesting that Expedia found out about the upgrade and told me, while Delta only sends me spam about "upgrades".

A new upgrade email today
Received the following email from delta today about 5:40PM which made me curious why Delta had changed the "Congratulations: your medallion upgrade(s) have been confirmed".
The subject of email was "Information About Your Complimentary Medallion Upgrade"
First words of the email body were "As a Medallion® Member, you're eligible for Complimentary Upgrades and we're pleased to sit you in the seat(s) listed below." and then below they had listed my flights and new seat assignments along with a descriptor of "Delta Comfort" or "First"
I was upgrade to Delta Comfort on 1 flight (WU class) and upgrade to first class on another flight (RU) class.

Wow, I was upgraded to the EC seat I picked when I bought the ticket. The email is much ado about nothing.

when I booked a placeholder ticket last night I saw this under "View Upgrade Eligibility"
needless to say, the F seats didn't show up after the confirmation screen
I have C+ UG deselected in my profile, so had to manually request seats after the confirmation screen; 10F -- perfectly acceptable; in fact pretty much ideal -- was available on both, but I never received the "Your UG Has Been Confirmed" email

Since the new upgrade rules went into effect, I haven't gotten any of the upgraded emails, for all the C+ ones what cleared with my companion taking my status (he's going to PM once flights post, so no hate please!) and also no emails on my solo flights upgrade to FC.
I prefer too much info than not enough....

I got one for a C+ Upgrade for ATL-RDU (and to a middle seat no less) earlier this week. It got my hopes up and quickly destroyed them

PM - WU "Upgrade" Email 2 months later?
Woke up and was excited that I got upgraded... Booked 2+ months ago. Instant WU for being Platinum Medallion. Just got the "We upgraded you enjoy" and it's just saying Economy Plus and shows my seats.
Never have gotten an email about that... and 2 months later?
Normal? Weird fluke? Why did I suddenly get an email about it? Just a big disappointment Delta!

I seem to get an "Information About Your Complimentary Medallion Upgrade" email about a day or so before the flight, and it always just shows the Delta Comfort+ seats I had selected weeks ago. At least it doesn't say "Your Medallion Upgrade Has Now Been Confirmed", which it did up until about September, again confirming the Comfort+ seats I had selected weeks before.

Maybe I'll get them all now
Read original post. I booked 2+ months ago, instant WU upgrade and I selected my seats. Email I got was just saying 'you have been upgraded' and stated seats I selected 2 months ago.
