United MileagePlus (Consolidated) - English question: whose is the "redeeming account" (GPU/RPU upgrade priority)

I have a rather embarrassing English question for you guys. For sponsored GPU/RPU, United says:

The sponsoring member can then redeem the Global Premier Upgrade by selecting the Upgrade Reservation link. Waitlist confirmation priority is based on the Premier status of the redeeming account.

What is the "redeeming account" for this purpose? Specifically, is it the account the GPU/RPU is being redeemed *from* for being redeemed *for*?

For instance, if a Plat is redeeming RPU for 1K, will it clear by 1K's priority or Plat's?

Thanks a lot!

The priority is based on the status level of the RPU/GPU "owner" - in your example Platinum.

Thank you, todorovic! :)
