Odd Upgrade Email
Booked a ticket on Monday for next Friday. Today at 11 AM I get the standard Upgrade Status email. Of course, no upgrades are processed, and it says "Too Early for Upgrade" beside each flight. Of course, because I'm gold and it's T-8....not even the CP window. I didn't change any flights or seats or anything since booking. Odd.

A few days ago I got an email 7 days out for a trip saying the same..and I'm Gold. Looks like a little programming bug.
This begs the question...is anyone getting successful upgrade notifications before their window?

If you bought a full Y fare and have elite status this will happen. That gets you upgrades outside your window if O or P fare bucket ha inventory, maybe someone goofed as it should just say "not available yet".

I just got an first class upgrade email for a flight already booked in Envoy class. It says First Class confirmed. Yippee, um...

My emails for this weekend came normally.
A little strange, on today's trip I got upgraded at T-3 for one leg and T-2 for the other.
For Monday's return, upgraded on one leg at T-3 and not the other even though it's showing F2, but that's not necessarily surprising. There's still hope. And the A319's aren't so bad if I can get 10A or 10F, which I pretty much always do.

I got this too, it gave me a confirmed upgrade for one flight, and said 'too early to upgrade' on another flight....confused....
Both flights were on the same day.

Odd lack of upgrade email!
So this morning I did not get the expected T-3 upgrade email. I checked my reservation and it now shows an F seat, so the upgrade went through, but no email. That's a little odd too! (But happy about the upgrade nonetheless!)

Same thing here. At T-8 got an email "too early for upgrades". At T-7 got "no upgrades available". At T-4, no email, but my TripTracker alerted me to the fact that I was now in 1F. Not complaining about the UG, but looks like IT have "fixed" something that was working (almost) perfectly for quite some time.
