Thanks. I ended up just using EVA to buy the tickets and have upgraded one leg of my trip so far (LAX-TPE). Still waiting to upgrade my return flight for when I get my points.
Good to know that you can use the Chase portal to buy the tickets and still have them upgraded. Did you use UR points to buy the tickets originally or $?
