I am new to this forum as I status matched with CO late last year and am now a Platinum. I saw a few threads about upgrades in general, but want to ask specifically about bringing other travelers on the same itin to E+ on a UA flight.

I looked up the rules and it says a CO Plat can bring 1 pax to E+. I am traveling with 3 other friends and want to see if anyone has experienced any exception in terms of the # of travelers you successfully brought to E+. Will begging work?
