Not sure that we can generalise from exceptional occurrences (which op-ups are, to begin with) but I was op-upped as an MPC Green, travelling with an Asia Miles general member, at an outstation, when we were booked on separate PNRs. All I did was ask whether there was any way for us to sit together since online checkin had not been able to assign seats!
That was at KIX. And I'm quite sure I've used up all my op-up karma, and more, from CX based on that unlikely confluence of events, right?
