Your family member is assessed at the Bronze level, not at yours. This is why.QF Platinum here, myself and a no status family member are traveling on QF75 tomorrow on seperate bookings.
I requested upgrade from premium economy to business for both of us via my account at almost exactly the same time from my account.
I received an upgrade at T-72, however my +1 still now at T-24 has received nothing.
I don't currently have expert flyer so couldn't watch the loads, however there were 10 business seats available when I received my upgrade (after T80 so the blocked seats had opened) and it stayed that way until earlier today at approx T-36 most the seats filled up, which I assume was another tranche of upgrades. I understand that seat maps aren't an accurate representation of the loads for a variety of reasons but I believe it was good enough to notice when the upgrades went through.
The upgrade system works in mysterious ways! Now I have to explain to said family member that they will be alone in PE while I am up the front
Just for extra data: My ticket was booked direct with QF, the family member booked with Amex travel.
It is now showing as J2 C2 D1.
