I have this happening numerous times, all at the gate or on the same day of departure.

My own upgrades cleared to PZ instead of PN. Same thing when I sponsored upgrades for others.

I think when PZ=PN=0, the agent or the system just didn't distinguish between PZ and PN on the day of departure.

I recently asked a friend with GS to apply PP on my upcoming flight.
Surprisingly when checking the upgrade list (72+ hours prior) I see my self in PZ instead of PN.

From what I remember it used to be that if GS apply PP to anyone they will be in PN instead of PZ, am i correct?
Did something change?

He did, but I believe sometimes those agents get things wrong.

So, was it corrected?

No, the agent said I will only get PZ and not PN

Why does this matter?

Often my own upgrades clear into PZ and not PN. Same with people whom I sponsor. As long as it is upgraded, who cares? It's not like we get anything extra for PN than PZ.

But if inventory goes to PN1PZ0, then don't you not get upgraded with this situation?

+1 -- inside of 24 hours I have often cleared into PZ -- in fact it could be all the time but I've never cared enough to monitor it. I just assumed it was a GA thing...

Depends upon the seat inventory and whether you are using an instrument. I don't sweat it - I get upgraded.

Sure — after clearing, doesn't matter — but I think the point in OP was GS instrument was waitlisting to PZ rather than PN, which theoretically at least reduces chance of upgrade clearing.
