On a reward ticket returning BZE-IAH-LAS-SFO. I just hit 1K and apparently at around the 100 hr mark my traveling companion (no status) was upgraded to R IAH-LAS-DEN. Yet I am still XN.
I booked both tickets then linked them online.
I've not had a lot of experience with the Pres Plus CC upgrades, but assume he benefits from my status and that he got upgraded over me because I booked his ticket (shortly) before mine?
Still, seems odd that a no-status companion would get the upgrade over the cardholder. Yah, I dont mind sitting in coach...maybe he'll sneak me a drink...
