Greetings to everyone who frequents this board. I've not posted here before but am, rather humbly, seeking your advice on a query to do with upgrade priority on CX.

Through my status on BA, I'm able to gift a BA Gold (OWE) card to my girlfriend, who is currently a CX Gold. She flies from HK on CX frequently and my sense was that she would be best to hide her CX Gold card in a drawer somewhere and to use the BA Gold card and FF number on her bookings as she would have a better chance of being op-uped as a BA OWE member than a CX OWS member. To be honest, this view was only forged through my own experiences of being upgraded far more frequently on CX than I am on BA!

Obviously the alternative would be for her to keep her CX status in the booking, and just to use the BA card to access first class check-in/lounges etc.

Which do you think would be the preferred approach?

Any insight greatly appreciated!
