(clarification- I would use my acct sements for my upgrade and they would use the upgrades from their acct, not trying to get a former elite to pay for me, although I like the idea @:-)
If you guys cross reference your itineraries, then the former elite "inherits" your status and you can pull the upgrades from their account. I have done this with my wife's account.

Also with non-elite status, i think the 500 mile upgrades will only work on full fare.
