I think upgrade was pure operational since flight was totally full, dont tell me why I got the upgrade though, F was full with 8 pax. Actually I was more then happy with C.

Today;
SK993 ARN-PEK M -> Y (I'm going to call this an op-up. I asked to upgrade myself and a companion M -> C and they let me do this for 20k points/person, "giving" me the M -> Y "free". The load in M looked to be 100%.)

Charging 20K for M -> C for EBG seems to be normal practice ^
I can´t remember to ever have paid 30K for M -> C ever but have always been operationally upgraded to Y in the process while having to pay 30K for my co-traveller without status.
Remember that this is against the official rules but a very good recognition of EBG by SK staff.

BDG - first M->Y at gate for volunteering (at check-in), then shortly before boarding Y->C as both Y and M seemed full. GA told me because I had been so nice but I saw someone sit in my newly assigned Y seat. Also one available seat left in C.

Me and three friends (all of them without status with Star Alliance) was travelling to PEK in January via ARN and CPH. At ARN I asked if there was any possibility for an upgrade, she looked at the flight on the computer and said no. When we later boarded the plane in CPH three of us got seats in the C part of the plane. The last friend without the upgrade got very annoyed and angry so we walked over to the desk in CPH and after some discussions and waiving with my Gold card he also got upgraded.
A great start on a leisure trip with your friends!

Well, it doesen´t happen that often. I have been EBG for the last 6 years, but I don´t remember getting any op-ups as EBS or EBB for that matter.
I don´t remeber when this happened, but the last one was from OSL to FRA in 2006...
Most of the op-ups, was as far as I remember 2003-2006
OSL-FRA - M to Y
GVA-OSL - M to C
ARN-ORD - M to C
CPH - ORD - M to Y
EWR - CPH - M to C (myelf and a friend)
ARN - ORD - M to C
ORD-CPH - M to Y

I fly mostly intra-Europe, but on the whole I've had a fair amount of op-ups.
As far as I can remember:
ARN-CDG: M to Y once
CDG-ARN: M to C twice
CDG-CPH: M to C twice
ARN-LHR: M to Y once
LHR-ARN: M to C 3 or 4 times and M to Y once
I have also received a good amount of hotel upgrades.
Here are some of the hotels where I have received proper upgrades (i.e. to next room category or better) due to EBG status:
Radisson Scandinavia Gothenburg, Radisson Portman London, Radisson Berlin, Radisson Frankfurt, Radisson Gillet Uppsala, Radisson Warsaw, Radisson Krakow, Radisson Lisbon, Radisson Budapest, Regent Zagreb, Radisson Bangkok, Best Western President Istanbul

Today I got an op-up M->C on HEL-CPH on a British Aerospace 146-100. The nicest part was, that one of the 5 empty seats on the plane was the middle seat next to me. This was my last flight on a HEL-AMS-SIN milage run/mini break that included a trip to BKK and CNX.

wow, that is nice, in particular as you indicate two persons and bypassing Y+ entirely. Are we talking about op-upg. or point-upg.? Assuiming that you mean op-upg. how did you get them/where did you ask?
