I am wondering whether this was random because my family members (who have been on the same flights as me and therefore accrued the same number of elite miles) have not been upgraded.

Further, when I log in, it says that my silver status expires on 31 January 2015 (even though I got upgraded). Doesn't the status generally last one year?

Thanks.
