Recieved an upgrade offer from QF today that I’ve not seen before for our flight next month BNE to LAX. We have booked PE with points upgrade requested already. Very specific offer to upgrade to business for 2900 each. No dial or points mix. Is this new or is it regular? Will this affect points upgrades now as we pretty much get USA upgrades consistently.
Thanks in advance.

I guess some people may pay that but to me it’s very steep if you’ve already paid for PE.
