Requesting a *A upgrade Award on SQ?
I finally pulled the trigger on SIN-DPS via the UA website (both SIN-DPS and DPS-SIN are carrying SQ flight numbers), but since the tickets are issued in full Y, I was going to throw some miles and see about upgrading into C.
The question is, do I just need to call MP to process the upgrade or do I need to follow more steps? Also, does a Y>C upgrade pull from I or O class?
PS: the UA website even allowed me to select seats for both segments.

Remember that *A upgrades using miles are only for instantly-confirmed upgrades. Upgrades that are not available cannot be waitlisted.
PS - personally I find 10,000 miles a waste on a short route like SIN-DPS. SQ has great service but 10,000 gets you a free ticket in the US under 700 miles. Obviously we all choose how to spend our miles differently.
