For me, I just want to see something like this show up on my phone or AC website after I log into my booking:-

Great post. For the record, AC already has this information.
When I really care about clearing an eupgrade, I always go to the MLL (at YYZ in most cases). I politely ask the lounge dragons where I am on the list (I use OLCI often), and they can tell me if I should drink heavily at the lounge or that they are pretty sure I will clear the upgrade at the gate. Once actually at SEA too, I asked during check in and they said Mr. SAP you are #1 on the list! (was waitlisted)
All they need to do is make this info available via a mobile app as suggested.
