You are eligible for instant upgrade. You were added to the queue when you bought the ticket. Everyone else (on non-instant-upgrade-eligible fares) is added when their upgrade window opens.

You are behind all the 75ks who bought eligible fares, including the ones who bought after you (they have a different queue). You are also behind all the golds or mvps who bought eligible fares before you.

Once you are 5 days before the trip, all the 75ks will get added to the 75k queue -- they will also be ahead of you (again, on the 75k queue). So it's better for you if U space opens more than 5 days out.
