I just used 20,000 miles to get my wife and I upgrade on a flight this week to DFW from ONT. How silly, I could have just got her a silver challenge and gotten myself the free upgrade, and possibly her.

With HPs new lower first class fares it is very common now to not be upgraded if your Silver...So do not feel like you lost out on an upgrade becasue odds are you were not going to get an upgrade. If you want to be sure of an upgrade now a days I strongly suggest you buy a first class ticket or use miles.
