Does status matter, meaning clearing upgrades with the higher status and pulling from the lower status account once you get to the gate? As of right now we're both PLT but she'll drop to Gold next year.

Thanks
I've been told several times that for 2 people with status traveling together, in order for the lower status companion to 'piggyback' off the higher status companion for upgrade waitlist purposes, the stickers must come from the higher status person's account.
