Showing "CPU Eligible" on the app, "Complimentary Premier Upgrade Requested" on the web? I vaguely recall some text, like 1K Instant Upgrade Eligible, but perhaps that was only when there was inventory available? It's been too long...

As pointed out, PN is what you need for 1K. Also, at least in the old app, there is an option to push the upgrade.

(The last flight in the series is the one with space.)
