One PUP (Platinum Upgrade) for every 50k Qmiles you fly. So the more Qmiles you fly, the more upgrades you're entitled to.

Pretty sure V & W classes can't be upgraded.

Correct.

Incorrect assumption. As long as you're flying *A, you can enter the Royal F lounge with your ROP*P status.

All in all, a pretty good deal!
