It's always worth checking again closer to departure time, maybe 2-3 weeks before, but nothing is guaranteed, I hope you have a backup plan for using those miles in case you cannot use them for an upgrade.
thank you so much. In the meantime I don't have any back up plan unless I can use the mileage for extra comfort seat for all 3 of us..
