I did this for a non FF Elite relative earlier. You call the flight fund desk (The agents at the main number won't know what you are talking about) and ask for the Silver Challenge. You may have to explain to them exactly what the silver challenge is (perhaps they keep it under wraps and play dumb for a little bit so everybody and their cousin doesn't get it). Then they will explain to you the terms of the deal (6k miles or 6 segments in 90 days). They may ask you for upcoming confirmation codes and details of HP travel. The woman explained that they need to verify upcoming HP travel (at least more than 1 flight) because they don't want people to get themselves comped and then never fly HP again once they get the free upgrade.
Anyway, if you are polite and are obviously a customer with some loyalty toward HP and can document a future w/ the carrier you should have no problem.
Hope this helps!
