Although I've used all of my GPUs (plus 8 from next year), it is only because of I've taken so many international flights.
Most of my international flights this year have been B or M class and I'm less then 20% with GPUs when purchasing these classes. I can't imagine how anyone gets upgraded on a W class when many of us aren't on B or M.

Agree - I purchase a lot of M fares and get upgraded on most of them. For me, this and GPUs are the only benefits.
