upgrade problems?
 

Now, I know the 6 day platinum upgrade isn't guaranteed, but it seems the norm lately for me.

That said, my flight on the 15th didn't upgrade 6 days out. Wasn't concerned, but then the 5th day passed yesterday and still no upgrades. Nothing today either.

A call to NWA confirms there's lots of R, but nobody is getting upgraded. Anyone else having problems with this upcoming weekend?

Do we need another "I didn't get upgraded" thread. Lots of them recently, just add to it.

If you want folks to help out, please give us details regarding dates and flights!

3 different people, 12 different flights. All confirmed to have R.

This is not an "I didn't get upgraded" whine - I'm sure it eventually WILL happen. It's a question if others have had upgrades come through for this weekend yet.

A bit of work would and you would see this thread:
Elite Upgrades Running Early?
Early gold upgrade - Thanks NW
This suggests that EUA works fine for them.

But others have reported problems:
New Upgrade Policy?
EUA Delay?
Please Run EUA!

All I am suggesting is that we do not start new threads about the same topic every other day! :rolleyes:

Also, give us specifics so we can comment regarding your situation, otherwise it is just a whine!

Yes, upgrades did come through for this weekend.

Flying BUF-DTW-MEM-TPA-MEM-DTW-BUF. Upgraded for 5 of the 6 segment.
Only one missing MEM-DTW.

My upgrades for the 1st portion of my RT came through yesterday (MSY-MSP, MSP-DTW, DTW-ALB). Will find out tomorrow if the return has cleared or not... Wish me luck!!

Finally, what are peoples' success rates with companion upgrades recently? I am trying to upgrade the fiancee on Sunday (ALB-DTW, DTW-MSY) and want to know what my chances are of me sitting in the back of the bus (while she is enjoying my seat up front :p )

I have four segments this weekend. None of them has cleared, although one is still showing P9 F9. Avail on the others has meanwhile dwindled. Definitely something weird going on...

"Fell through the cracks..."
 

I agree.

I'm flying MSP-ATL this weekend on an award ticket. There was plenty of "A" inventory available to upgrade into so I expected to be upgraded 5 days out, which would have been Sunday. Didn't hear anything from EUA.

Yesterday I found that Golds on restricted tickets had already been upgraded for Friday's flight (by EUA, 3 days out), so obviously I got skipped. I'm like, what gives? :mad:

So I called the Plat Elite line and asked the agent how this could have happened. She put me on hold for about 10 minutes, and when she came back she had manually upgraded me. No explanation other than "somehow you fell through the cracks." Gee, thanks. :rolleyes: But at least she corrected the situation promptly and even upgraded my return at the same time. ^

So much for EUA. Although I wouldn't normally bug the Elite agents with this, judging from the other posts on here something is awry. If you suspect you got skipped, I'd give the Elite line a call and have them check it out.

EUA for PE on flights using 1-2-3 Free Spring 04 Promo
 

I got upgraded 5 days out for FNT>DTW>LAX on May 6. It was a total surprise, especially since the T&C says no upgrade. The return flights on May 8, LAX>MSP>DTW>FNT cleared 5 days out, too.
So NWA is great in my book.

I have confirmation just now that NONE on the upgrades for 5/16 (platinums) have run today. They said there is a "bug with the program and we're working to fix it."

Just called them. "It's trying to upgrade you, but nothing is available" -- even allegedly on the P9 F9 segment, now four days out. :td: Still 0/4. I'm also on an award ticket -- wonder if they've kicked those down.

(Sorry from bringing up from the depths, and a bit OT)

Wait, so award travel is eligible for free EUA if you're an elite member? So you can pay the standard non-rule buster miles for coach and potentially get an EUA to F?

News to me if true, but I'm still new to award travel (haven't booked much)...

Golds and plats only. Keep workin' on it. :)

It's ok, my Sunday flight shows P8 F6 R4 according to the elite line people, but "it has not run on your flight yet."

We're only 4 days out here....this is odd.

See you at DCA today Alpha? :)

My return flights on Sunday (both segments) cleared this morning ^ . Comfort, here I come!
