Thanks for the reply. @bgriff @SamOF I do have another question pertaining RUC (sorry for off-topic but nobody replied on the other post and you seem to be very knowledgeable)
Im a Delta Diamond Medallion, and have an ATL-LAX flight on a 777 in april. Its an award travel (not pay-with-miles, straight up award travel), I hit DL up on twitter asked them to apply a RUC I had from last year Platinum status, and they waitlisted me. Now I read the rules on RUC and they cant be applied to award travel. Im confused as to what I should do, if I leave it there will the system "allow" the upg and increase my chances? Or will it cause a glitch and actually decrease my chances of getting it as a DM Comp Upg? The itinerary does show as upgrade: waitlisted idk what the agent did but he managed to put the RUC through.

Thanks everyone for advice and help. Used combination of Delta.com, Expert Flyer and Google Flights. Found open Z Fares and called with specific date, time and flights. Upper Deck 747 going SFO->AMS and return on 789! Super excited.
And to note it did go into Z Fare...
