Its been tough to actually find availability on RSU

Ok, thanks folks. Will probably go with the credit then. I have one red eye coming up for solo personal travel so I was thinking of getting/using RSUs for that, but currently there is currently nobody in First class anyway and it’s a non-Delta One flight, so even I’m hoping I just get comp’d the upgrade and if I end up staying in Comfort+ I’m not missing out on a ton.
