So, I built a multi stop schedule, M's showed up again, still no upgrade message. So I then put the 2 legs that had 737's as 1st, and the other two segments as economy.
The price was the same as the all economy booking where I didn't ask for the M's.
Nice!
So, I got 2 segments at 150% elite bonus as well as the front of the bus and of course it all with double EQM's.

Normally if the upgrade message isn't there, the flights aren't upgradeable (M and B upgrades are capacity controlled). Do you have seat assignments in FC?
