My understanding of the rules is that you should leap ahead of all the EXPs seeking complimentary upgrades on the upgrade list and I think above everyone seeking upgrades with SWUs or miles/copay, so you’ll likely be pretty high on the upgrade list. The only people above you on the list would be those in your situation — paid for first (with miles or cash) but confirmed (not standby) in coach — with higher status. I would make sure that you are high on the upgrade list. Check with the check in agent and/or the agents in the Admirals Club (if your originating airport has one).
