Beware if the credit card holder's miles were not used for the ticket they are not CPU eligible. The CPU only applies when miles and cardholder are the same person.
From what you commented, you are suggesting if A is UA elite+chase UA cc holder, but A is travelling on award ticket which redeemed using B's miles, then A is not eligible for CPU. Is that what you actually mean?
(And let's set the +1 aside since +1 is not eligible in the case of CPU on award ticket).

Premier members who are primary cardholders for certain Chase-issued MileagePlus credit cards are eligible for Complimentary Premier Upgrades when traveling on award tickets on United-operated flights. The following credit cards qualify for this benefit:
United MileagePlus Explorer Card
United MileagePlus Explorer Business Card
United MileagePlus Club Card
United MileagePlus Club Business Card
United MileagePlus Presidential PlusSM Card
United MileagePlus Presidential Plus Business Card
Complimentary Premier Upgrades on award tickets will be prioritized as indicated in the "Upgrade Confirmation Priority" section above, and prioritized after the lowest paid fare class within each Premier level. This benefit does not apply to companions traveling on award tickets.
