Looks like you guys may have been right. I didn't have time to call this AM, but at the checkin counter the agent said I'd been upgraded and handed me a biz class lounge card. He said that I would receive my new BP at the gate. Still have a coach seat on my current BP though, so I'll believe it when I see it! (Will be a very nice surprise on this 15hr flight tho if it does work out!).

Now if I could just get through customs faster so I could check out the lounge....
