Qantas Courtesy Upgrade Love

Just a note that the upgrades happened while I was in the lounges, so quite near departure. Perhaps waiting to see if J was full or not.

My partner and I got a free upgrade from Y to Premium Economy on JFK-SYD late December last year.

I'm WP, she's the lowest rung AAdvantage. This was after initially being declined a points upgrade.

Just checking is this still happening? Haven't seen any posts about it in a little while.

Had 2 within a month after my year renewed in June then drought. Sadly both were domestic.

10 flights in the last 3 months, 4 trans-Tasman, 6 Australian DOM. No luck after two in a row.

I have no solid authority for this but from what I can piece together, it seems like QF have blitzes where for a period of a couple of weeks or a month, staff are empowered to go nuts and issue as many upgrades as they want for plat and above then it goes back to BAU. Just have to be lucky and fly in that time.
