Companion Upgrade Code?
Is there a specific Code I can refer ticketing agent to, to get my companion added to an upgrade list?
Today I asked ticketing agent at MCO to get my companion added to an upgrade list and she just had this blank stare in her eyes like I was speaking a foreign language to her.
I will try again at the gate.

And they didn't ask someone else or call for help? 
I don't have a problem with someone not knowing everything. I do have a problem when they don't pursue an answer, though.

- Put a passenger on the upgrade list - This one depends on the status level involved:
6:123-FAQ$PLT#U will put passenger FAQ - a platinum - booked on CO 123 on the upgrade list. For a gold use GLD and for a silver use SLV. For a PR3 paper/promo upgrade cert use PR3 in the status field.

If I remember correctly, for a Platinum companion, the "PLT" changes to "PLC", and for Gold companion "GLD" to "GLC".
This way the companions prioritize after actual Platinums or Golds on the upgrade list.
