On the other hand, I've been BA Gold for more than 5 years and have never been upgraded in any of their flights. CX to me wins hands down in rewarding frequent travellers with them.
I suspect CX looks not just at absolute status but the 'velocity' with which you are spending with them. If you are flying J 6 times a month then you are giving them a lot of $$$ and hence getting pretty high on the upgrade pecking order.
