App is offering Paid Upgrade to First Class on An AWard ticket.
I have a PHX-LAX-SFO Skymiles ticket booked for February (paid 11,000 Skymiles RT) and I just went to look at it on the DL app and it is offering me a very reasonable PAID upgrade to First for only $126 PHX-LAX-SFO.
As a DM I always clear these flights at the DM window so I don’t think I’ll bite.
But would I even get any MQMs, etc if I did purchase this upgrade?
I’ve never seen the app offer a paid upgrade to FC on an award ticket!

I just happened to notice this today, myself . . . .
Flying Tuesday - PIT/DTW/YYZ & Wednesday - YYZ/DTW/PIT
Tuesday both UGs cleared. Wednesday, I noticed some lingo on the app I never saw before . . . .
On the YYZ/DTW flight, it said something like - - "First Class $123.00"
On the DTW/PIT flight, it said something like "First Class $172.00"
There was a clickable button next to each one of them.
I thought . . . Huh?!?!?
This is an award ticket!
When I saw this post, I was gonna take screenshots and post them, but the offers seem to be GONE!!!

This thread made me curious, so I checked an award flight I have 160 days out. XXX-DTW-NRT on the new A350. We booked Economy award for 35,000 miles one way. The app allows for an upgrade to Premium Select for $419 per person. It doesn't allow this for Delta One.
