Another upgrade thread

[mr_matt_t]

I know upgrades have been discussed at length in several posts but I am still unclear how the ranking and selection process works.

Does a WP who requests an upgrade 2 days prior trump a SG on waitlist for 87 days? Does someone with surname starting with A get preference over Mr X if requests are on the same day with same status?

Any inside knowledge on how this process works would be appreciated.

The only confirmed info I know of is that WP beats SG beats PS beats NB - no matter of timing. Then within those rankings it is the time of request. So if two WP lodge the request on the same day then the early bird catches the worm.

mr_matt_t,

I agree with the answer from simongr that a late WP request will have priority over a long standing SG request.
