Bonus Upgrade, Points and status credits

[DSFlyer]

Travelled to a Qld destination with the family in the last week on full flexi fares in Y. I requested upgrades using points both ways. A week before travel I received an email which said that my flights were eligible for upgrades using the premium bid system, and decided that I would give that crack to see if I could get us upgraded. 2 days before we departed I received the email that said my bid was unsuccessful for the outbound flight and we travelled Y. Prior to returning on the weekend, I decided to increase my bid for the return flight a little as I knew there were seats still available. 1 Day before travelling home, I received an email telling me that my premium bid was unsuccessful for the return leg. On checking my bookings online, it showed that we were now on a business fare and travelling business, with no points or money taken from my card. I thought I would just wait till I got to the airport and see what happened and sure enough we checked in and were given seats in business, with the fare class on the boarding pass showing J.

I thought they must have just upgraded us as we are all platinum or gold, and we would receive normal Y status credits and points. This morning I checked and we have received the status credits for travelling in Business, as well as points that are exactly double of what we received flying on flexi Y on the outbound leg - Bonus!

There is still no points deducted or money taken from my card for upgrades, so not really sure what has gone on here, but as you can see, I am not giving too much away just in case they wise up!

I wouldn't trust a VA computer as far as I could kick it, so just be prepared in case that charge comes through.

I upgraded at the lounge using a WP free upgrade. A week later, the 1 upgrade had still not been deducted. I thought, that maybe because on the flight Y was full.
Was thinking sweet,,,
Then after 8 days, it was deducted

I wouldn't count on it just yet, and I wouldn't be telling anyone
