Qantas Upgrades - Successes or Failures (post results)

Was J7 at T-96 for a late BNE>MEL departure so tried for a minimum upgrade now bid of $230 (tax deductible too).
Success at T-25.
Didn't want to bid points as not worth it.
 
Late report from Thursday 1 October: the happy text at 8pm the night before my 10pm HND-SYD QF60 flight, as a solo WP booked in Y (Saver fare). I have a very good track record of solo WP upgrades, and also figured a Thursday night flight might be less full than a Friday night one.

QF203 SYD to POM points upgrade to J at T-27 odd. Unexpected as I’m SG.

2 empty seats when I selected my seat. Cabin full in flight.
