Anybody had issues with plus points posting this week? I earned 20 on Sunday and they have not posted yet. They usually post within a day.

Yes, but a non-GS on a GS instrument would be in exactly the situation that's described: ahead on the Polaris list (PN vs PZ) but behind on the P+ list (no difference in GS vs non0-GS instruments for P+).

You're describing clearance precedence (GS instrument can clear when PZ=0), not waitlisting precedence. GS list ahead of 1K because they code higher, not because they clear into PN.

It maybe a bug. It shows up on desktop with only the outbound segment waitlisted and no upgrade certs for the return segment. However, on the (Android) app, it shows (correctly) upgrade waitlists for all segments.

Yes, I came here to ask the same question. They usually post really quickly (no more than 2 days) but this time, my partner has yet receive for 59K, 61K, and 63K - that's 60 points behind.

I did talk to an agent @ mileage plus and was told that they are now taking at least a week to be posted. Well, it has been 12 days since crossing 59K and fingers are still twiddling....

I'm still waiting on 45K and 47K to post. 45K passed on Nov 10, 47K on Nov 25. Wrote to GS 10 days ago re 45K and no response.

Call if you need certainty. The system gets confused with SFO as a connection and NYC being a co-terminal. You are likely on both waitlists with just 20 +Ps.

So I’m waitlisted with PP on FRA-IAD next month. I’ve confirmed multiple times that I am on the upgrade list (both for Premium Plus and Polaris).

However, I’m only showing 20 PPs requested. Is that correct?

Does a PP upgrade follow the status of the traveler or requestor? Have a GS Friend sponsoring my upgrade and just curious.

Looks like my missing points just posted

This is not correct. You can cancel it if none of other segments has been cleared. The correct amount is either 40 points (W fare class and above) or 80 points (S, T, L, K and G). 20 points suggest that you only selected a US domestic segment for upgrade, not the overwater segment.

GS PP clears into PN space, but 1K PP on PZ space. Both are cleared according to traveler’s status/fare class within the two subsets of passengers on waitlist. Some pax with Premium economy tickets have higher priorities over regular economy pax.

I cleared the domestic leg on an M fare, not using PP. I'll call again and have then cancel and reapply - but does time of request impact waitlist position. I've been told I'm #2 on list, so not sure why the disconnect here. I am on an M fare, which at least should help, but no PZ inventory currently. Also, the flight sometimes isn't even available for booking in economy, but at least 19 seats up front still.

Also, app shows segment as waitlisted, but not online.

Update: Called and they applied the correct amount (with the original 20 still shown as requested, but agent said it would sort itself out, even after the flight). So, we will see.

Glitch with points applied within two days of departure
 

Twice this week, I've used the UA app or site to apply a PlusPoints update to a flight departing within two days--as in, I threw in the upgrade once I could see the upgrade list-- and have the reservation remain unchanged after the app or site reported a successful waitlist transaction. Calling in worked... and reminded me that while the app or site will require 20 points per domestic segments, phone agents can only apply those 20 points to the entire reservation. Which is a excellent reason to call and ignore the site and app if your itinerary involves two long flights that both would represent a good use of an upgrade.

Same here.

I've been able to waitlist/confirm 20 PP upgrades across multi-segment domestic itineraries on the website many times without issue. Just applied another one a few days ago.
