You should never do that as a 1K. The M fare instant upgrade prioritizes ahead of the instrument, since it books into PN. Applying an instrument confuses the system, leading to problems like this.

Right, that's why I asked. A 1K would only want to use an RPU on an M fare if it were a non-CPU route -- since there are no Y/B/M instant upgrades on non-CPU routes.

Something strange is definitely going on with the upgrade list. I am flying AUS-IAH this morning and my name is not on the list. The list is only showing 12 names waiting to upgrade when you would usually see 30-40 on a Monday morning flight. The group 1 boarding line was miles long.

Were you upgraded before check in started?

I had the same experience for EWR - ORD this morning. Was not upgraded prior to check-in or flight and name never was displayed on the list at the gate or in the app.
