(7) What is most important to you in a FFP?
Intl upgrades, priority check-in/boarding, lounge access (already have Amex Plat for AC access), TPAC C award redemptions

As a general rule upgrades are only available with your FFP airline miles on a flight marketed (your airline flight number) and operated by your airline. In general you cannot upgrade codeshares. Depending on the airline some low$ fares are not upgradeable. Is different for the AA/BA/IB arrangement. Have read where MPC Asiamiles can upgrade BA flights, but not 100% sure
