To get back on topic,

Platinum Elite:

I'm curently 6 for 6 via auto-upgrades.

In actual practice I am 5 for 6 because on one of my segments, I decided to forsake a confirmed seat in first and go standby on an earlier flight whereupon I was lucky to take the last seat (coach) on the plane.

I am interested in hearing more commments from the silvers and golds out there as well as how successful golds and platinums have been with companion upgrades at check-in.
