Golds (UA Prem Exec) *are* ahead of CO Plats on UA metal for upgrades. Always have been.

Reason:
UA 1P (golds) have between 50-100K EQM.
CO Plat is > 75K.

Thus, a plat with 88K should only be a gold on UA's system. UA has no way to tell that you may be a "100k" plat. Since UA FF's have the edge on CO FFs on UA metal, what the GA told you was correct.

Note, plats (>75K) trump 1k (>100k) on CO metal. And CO golds trump UA 1Ps.
