Wrong.
  • A Gold with a base member will NEVER be eligible for EUA or OLCI upgrade.
  • A Plat with exactly one companion of any stripe WILL be eligible for EUA at the 5-day plat window and at OLCI.
  • A Plat with more than one companion will NEVER be eligible for EUA or OLCI upgrade.

At the battlefield, if there are "2" seats available for upgrade, the Platinum and his NON-status base member would get the seats, before a silver or gold, since the companion upgrade for the non-status base member is based on the Platinum ?
I believe that a platinum companion gets the plat's status for battlefield purposes. But I'm not sure if a gold companion gets the gold's status or if he comes after a solo silver.
