I was upgraded twice I think (including a quadruple upgrade with Mrs. QRC, helper and little one, that one is easy to remember)....but both were to/from Taipei, on planes without PEY (one was regional plane, the other was a long-haul A330 without PEY). I've got a bunch of other flights but no upgrade was possible due to biz or f already.
It's also very easy on PE (even redemption PE) to/from Aus/NZ.
Revenue oversells Y, bumps the elites from Y to PE, bumps
everyone in PE to J. I've done it, and even my status-less brother's done it

My mate's also heard from his dad and brother than CX lounges open 24/7 too
