Just got Mrs_dergon checked in for tomorrow's flight. My EAU came in already for my $$ purchase. Mrs_dergon on miles and not on upgrade list with three seats still open in F at T- 23:45. No one on U/G waitlist either yet.
Can I make her my companion while she is on reward? If no, then it looks like I'm giving up 1B tomorrow to my lovely wife.

Well, today I was a good husband and gave Mrs_dergon 2F for the flight back to CLE-FLL and all I have to say is ........ugh! Y is awful.
I was even in 21D, exit row aisle, but due to the ooziness of the borderline CRES in the 21E middle all benefit was sucked away like so many chilidogs into his hillbilly gullet. Old school IFE, my first experience with paying for food (not even anything warm..just pringles and beef jerky...ugh...I'll pass).
Thank god for a couple drink coupons.

That's in the fine print now of CO Chase CC offers. Of course the link they send you to is the generic elite upgrade page and it still explicitly excludes reward flights. Considering competition it wouldn't surprise me too much if CO is going to offer this. But are they?? Anyone have any insight?
Read it in the fine print here: http://www.continental.com/web/en-US...?&offer=OPP25#. It is also showing on the PPlus card: http://www.continental.com/web/en-US...px?offer=PPC01.

Has this benefit quietly been removed? No one at CO seems to know anything about it. And the benefit description that used to be on the Chase Card links seems to have been removed.
From a previous post by SBM12:

It went effective April 1st
Just spoke with a CO rep who confirmed it did go into effect. In my case, my wife and I are travelling on reward tickets but only the card holder is eligible for the upgrade (unless the companion paid for their ticket). I might have to be a good husband and give up the EWR-PTY seat if its available.

got my UG notification 5 days before my IAH-SAL flight last Wednesday.
It was a reward ticket though I didn't book it on my Chase Pres Plus.
It was a pleasant surprise.

Bump In Elite Status
That is not at all how I read CO Insider's post. I'm reading it as the fare bucket "X" which is the coach reward will be added to the eligible fares for EUA assuming the passenger has a flag in their account for Chase card primary cardholder. It will be at the end of the line, after L but otherwise within the elite hierarchy.
Simply holding a PPlus or OP+ card alone won't get you anything with respect to upgrades.

sbm12...Thank you for clearing that all up. What about Pres Plus cardholders getting a bump up in Elite status? Is there any truth to that?
