A severe lack of clarity at this point as to if there's been a delay or even a change, you can see a discussion here:

The original section (below) could only be read as applying all upgrades, IMO, but, evidently-- for now-- hasn't turned out that way:
The numeric suffixes added to priority list codes (VIP/UPG/OS/RI/RV) will be changing with the addition of the ConciergeKey and Platinum Pro tiers. Effective January 1, the suffixes will be:
1 - ConciergeKey
2 - Executive Platinum
3 - Platinum Pro
4 - Platinum
5 - Gold
(no suffix) - no status
Also effective January 1, companions of an elite member will receive the same priority on the PALL list as the elite member.
