Right, no one here knows when and why it happens, but it happens. I've personally seen it twice when traveling with a non-status companion on the same fare. I have no idea if it's on purpose or some type of bug, and I'm not sure how much I really care since in most cases I wouldn't take the bait at the price offered the non-status passenger. But if it's on purpose, I think it's a really bad way to do business...upset your most loyal customers in order to entice new repeat customers I assume.
