I'm delta platinum and I used points to pay for a personal flight tomorrow. I just checked in and I don't see myself on the upgrade list though. No upgrades since I paid with points? What gives?

FYI it's just a short domestic flight (DCA>ATL). I fly it all the time for work actually and always get upgraded when I pay

No upgrades on points for the other legacies (AA/UA). Hoping a Delta can agree/disagree

I've been upgraded with points as both gold and diamond - can't see why platinum wouldn't be different.

The only time I used points to pay for a delta flight I didn't see my name on the upgrade list. When I went to the gate agent they said it was because I paid using points. Luckily she was super nice and since there was an open first class seat, she finessed and got me the seat. But I guess in general the rule is no upgrade if you use points

Definitely no upgrades on AA/UA with points. Even with GS on UA. That blew my mind.

No free upgrades if you pay with points. You can use more points to get upgraded tho

UA gives free upgrades if you have the MP card. Not really worth it IMO, though

Uhm I've been upgraded on points but tbh the flights were nearly empty

I'm 360 and get upgraded most times that I fly with Delta (points or cash)

I called delta and they said that I would have gotten upgraded if I was traveling alone or with another person with status, but since I'm traveling with someone else w/o status that person prevents both of us from getting upgrades.

Boooo delta
