No one was on the upgrade list at the time I got my upgrade for 2, but the list went upto 8 at T-1 and I don't believe any of them cleared. The price to Premium Y was I believe $101.50USD + tax. Original economy redemption reward was 20,000 Aeroplan/seat (with the discount from holding Amex Aeroplan Reserve card)
Actually I was on that flight too and on the upgrade list in positions 1 & 2 and we cleared from PY to J at T-55 minutes. I think spots 3 & 4 cleared into J as well. My original booking was made with Priority Rewards for a 50% rebate into the PY cabin, so overall an amazing redemption considering the e-upgrade to J.
