My husband and I (sounds very regal) both received the offer. 60,000 points to upgrade to Y+ SYD-LHR in August. unfortunately we are on separate PNRs (due to the gift vouchers we took uplast December) he is Silver so if I get the upgrade & he doesn't he told he will be devastated, oh well them's the breaks.
On another note, I got the same offer in February (we were on the same PNR) and applied for an upgrade on HKG-BNE in June from Y to J. I kept checking flightstats and there were lots of seats in J. The flight upgrade was still noted on my booking when we left FCO on CX. We had a 12 hour layover in HKG and went straight to the QP. The dragon said no go at that stage. I checked a few times during the day to no avail. Also the request had disappeared off my booking. I did ask her to check if there was an error but was met with a singular lack of interest. At the gate, they confirmed there were 14 seats available in J. I asked them to check and they contacted Sydney, and yes for some reason there was a computer glitch and my request had disappeared off the system. With apologies we were upgraded, but it was touch and go as the gate was closing. I wasn't trying to pull a DYKWIA but just felt something was wrong. The fact I had the printout of my booking noting the upgrade request did play a part in getting them to check for me.
