Qantas Upgrades - Successes or Failures (post results)

19/8 QF2 LHR-SYD, Y saver to PE * 2 pax - success as a WP, notified at T-20.
I had requested for the LHR-SIN leg only but the upgrade covered the whole segment.

I don't believe it's possible to request an upgrade for just 'half' of a QF1/2 flight segment?

I've put an offer in for a CDG-SYD in October (flex Premium Economy --> J). Not holding my breath as a SG.

More curiously, I was surprised that the cash bid upgrade option tool maxed out at a $3,000 offer and the dial indicated a "good" offer from $1800.

Seems a bit sus to me given my understanding is points upgrades are processed before cash offers, so I went with the points upgrade request given you can't do both. We'll see what happens, but if cash upgrades were processed first, I'd have no issue paying $2-3K for that route.

Confirmed Upgrades are before points upgrades.
Bid now upgrades are after points upgrades.

The dial thing is just a gimmick.
