Strength indicator
Does the strength indicator reading for a bid take account of any applicable uplift (e.g. for *G) ?
And also what about if one of the passengers in the booking (i.e. me) is *G and the other (my wife) is only Jade?

Anyone had sky couch upgrades for 2?
Has anyone done a 1up for 2 people on a sky couch? I'm guessing an upgrade for 2 people is preferred because then they are only giving up 1 extra seat whereas a bid for 1 person to sky couch means losing 2 extra seats. What was the successful bid?

I don't see how it makes any difference - regardless of whether it's 1 or 2 people bidding you're still going to have to bid the same price to get a Skycouch. It's the same effective price whether it's 1 or 2 people if you're buying one at the time of booking.

Well yes and no... if you have 1pax alone doing a 1up bid to sky couch it means there needs to be 2 vacant seats next to them (which may mean moving 2 other pax to free these seats). If 2 pax are doing a sky couch bid together then there only needs to be 1 vacant seat (which may only mean moving 1 pax).
