3 Days Prior to Check-in - 9FC
2 Days priors to check-in - 9FC
1 Day prior to check-in - 7FC
I will eat my own sock if Delta actually manages to sell 7FC, or like I posted in another thread. I don't appear on the upgrade list like last time this happened and I didn't get upgraded in the diamond window.

Was upgraded at the Diamond window for one of tomorrow’s MCO to LGA flights. I think I am at around 75% on upgrades YTD.

Plat with reserve card:
SLC-JFK 5/23 on a T fare: 27/50 for 1 FC, 15/28 for 0 C+ (sold out at booking ~2 weeks ahead). Nice return to reality on this route after my miracle window UG last time...
LGA-BTV 5/24 on an award ticket: C+ at booking, cleared to F at the PM window.
Now 10/24 on the year.

Not sure if this is a new app thread posting or what not, but wife and I in flight tomorrow on award tickets. After OLCI I see that I’m not on F WL for either flight nor am I on the C+ list for second flight (first flight we were UG to C+ already).
Call the DM line and it says it’s because I didn’t check the UG box on my PNR for F or C+ for the second flight.
Hogwash, but RBI’s so the third time this has happened to me this year.
Now with the new app I can’t figure out how to manage my UG’s.
1. Has this issue happened to anybody else recently?
2. Does anyone know on the app where to manage your upgrades?

PM, no card
BOS-EWR (E175) - upgraded to F at PM window, 6/12 seats open
JFK-BOS (E175) - upgraded to F at PM window, 10/12 seats open
11/11 for the year although 6 of them were on BOS-NYC flights which I feel don't really count

Mildly surprised that +1 and I were able to get upgraded for flights during the start and end of Memorial Day Weekend LGA-MCI-LGA as a PM Reserve using an Amex companion cert (T fare). For both flights, we cleared at the 120 hour window and were able to get decent seats (as best as one can get on a CR9).

BTV-ATL-SLC on 5/29 cleared immediately with a RUC at T-100 ish, some chance I would have gotten one or both legs as a comp but didn't want to roll the dice after an exhausting weekend. Now 12/26 on the year.

GM + companion on VS award flights, so DL coded.
5/26 MSP-SAT on A319. 4 F seats open at T-72, upgraded.
5/30 SAT- MSP on A319. 2 F seats open at T-72, upgraded.
Pleasantly surprised at these upgrades, and shocked they gave me the final 2 on the way home. Wife, who is silver, missed C+ on the outbound, but got C+ at window inbound.
