You can request a miles/copay upgrade for anyone really (with the miles pulled from your account). If you're not traveling together then the waitlist position will always be based on the status of the passenger, not the person who's account the miles are pulled from (nothing in the previous post indicated the passenger inherited the gifter's status, just that the upgrades cleared).
