Question About Using Miles

My wife and I are planning a trip next month (domestic), and I wanted to use miles for the ticket. If I purchase main cabin tickets, would I still be eligible for upgrades? I'm a Diamond Medallion, if that makes any difference. Thanks for any information!

Here are the official rules, from How to Upgrade with Travel Companions :

A Medallion Member and one traveling companion may both enjoy a Complimentary Upgrade when traveling on Delta and Delta Connection carriers, as long as that companion is a General SkyMiles Member, Medallion Member, or partner airline elite member*, and traveling on the same flight in the same reservation. Companion upgrades are available for travel on paid tickets, Award Tickets, Miles + Cash tickets, Pay with Miles tickets and Companion Certificates.

Companion upgrades must be requested. If you and your companion are in the same reservation, you can request your companion upgrade at delta.com during the booking process, afterwards in My Trips, or during check-in prior to departure.
