Wife is Plat flying with a non qualifying companion correct?
I believe that the wife doesn't have Plat status (or possibly any status). Status is provided to the individuals from OP account when he booked the reward ticket (loophole / bug in the system). As a Pres Plus Card holder, the award tickets have EUA chances (and pretty good ones). I believe Plat Award ticket beats out Silver and Gold (unless Y or B fare is purchased).
