When doling out upgrades it seems to be status first, and possibly timing second (i.e. if you requested it before another platinum did). I don't know what influence the purchased fare has (sale business versus discount business versus flexible business).
Thanks for that advice, I have put in for an upgrade, its over 4 months away so fingers crossed! Will report back here later!
