Anyway, on hold with .com support to see what is going on.
I flew to LIR in Costa Rica weekend before last and there was a very low load of elites coming from IAH. Some people on FT told me that these central american routes are not elite heavy at all, especially if you don't fly on a Fri/Sun.
That being said, the flight loads are high and the buyups are cheap. My friend was traveling with me on the $239 CO.com special (N bucket) and was offered buyups of $69 both directions. I was upgraded at T-30 and T-28 as a silver on those flights, and only 5 people were upgraded before buyups that I saw.
I think you should be fine
