Friend of mine in DXB - his wife got an upgrade at check-in from WTP to F on the DXB-LHR a couple of days ago. She's Bronze, and was absolutely blown away.
BP had the "Thanks from BA - Enjoy your upgrade" message.

Great result today - both myself and OH upgraded on DXB-LHR from WTP to J. We were on separate PNRs, and original bookings were made using our Barclays upgrade vouchers , so had booked WTP for the WT Avios rate. Both of us are BAEC Gold. So a counter data point to the ones that suggest reward tickets have a higher downgrade rate…….

Woke up this morning to find we’ve been upgraded as a family of 4 ET-CE to FLR tomorrow. Nice as I was about to preorder some drinks online 😊

Upgraded from J to F on QR from DOH to HKG. My hit rate on QR is far higher than on BA. Pleased I got to try the CX F seat as I’d never had the chance before. Someone on the same flight got upgraded from Y to F!

This was the messiest group 1-3 boarding I’ve ever seen with this entire school boarding first

I got quite lucky recently on a SIN-LHR-JFK r/t with both the LHR-SIN legs being upgraded from J to F. Very nice surprise as I had been on a upgrade dry spell for a while on the same route. Both times I was notified after checkin ~1 hour before boarding.

Indeed - maybe 50 school children boarded before Group 1, all blocking the priority lane, so in the end Group 4 went first.. The SCCM was very good on the flight though I think.
