[downgraded]

No. Booking channel makes no difference for upgrade requests on Qantas.

No he can't ask, but you answered anyway.

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.

QF75 SYD-YVR 26SEP - Y>Y+ Success...undoubtedly someone getting bumped from Y+>J helped me
QF38 SIN-MEL 10OCT - Y>J Fail...not unexpected given the seatmap from a few days earlier showed the flight as full...

QF30 HK to Mel. Fiexi economy to business unsuccessful as Platinum.

It was my 27th flight on that specific route, I haven’t been tracking the upgrades but at a guess I’ve around a 60-70% success rate of upgrading with points.
