But this morning, she was not showing on the upgrade list (through app). Then after she checked in through the app, she showed up as 5th on the list. Yet the guy next to me stated he cleared yesterday as a platinum.

Would anyone be able to explain why?

Glosses over the fact that a Platinum cleared, while an EXP and 4(?) others were on the list. Unless, the Plat passenger really meant they paid to clear, which could have been the case. I've had some funky things happen on the UG list, but hard to really prove or argue.
