Auto upgrade
On the upgrade page via manage your booking, I see there is an auto upgrade feature - is that new or a platinum benefit? (This is my first booking since making it to plat).

Wow! I have it, too (as Gold). I guess its a new universal feature. Pretty awesome, too!
Wonder if this is Mueller's contributions beginning to show? With the seat selection cost, now this, the online change your flights has become way more usable and stable, as well.

Sounds great, will definitely make use of it.
I only hope this won't be as unreliable as the upgrade alerts. When I'm waiting for upgrades to become available, I always sign up for alerts, but in about 90% of occasions I find upgrades are open before any SMS/email is sent out...

I think this depends on how many people are on the auto-upgrade already.
And how will people be selected if multiple have chosen the auto-upgrade?
First comes first base
Status
Type of ticket and booking class
So many questions......

I would assume, and the fairest way, is that it's first come first serve. when you select the auto-upgrade option a timestamp is recorded, when a seat opens up they look for the person who first select the auto-upgrade option.

Well I can redeem them at DDF for jewellery and make-up, maybe that helps? But then again a guy covered in gold ear-rings and eyeliner may have the opposite of the desired effect
