By far the most overwhelmingly likely outcome is that you’ll fly on the flight you are booked in the class and seat you are booked in.
there is no harm in checking in early to see if there is a poug offer but on truly overbooked flights it’s unlikely. As gold you are extremely unlikely to be downgraded or denied boarding.
