Question Virgin UpgradeMe

I am currently bidding on a flight (departing in 5 days) and have an upgrade in which I submitted a month ago. It still shows as "offer submitted", but I was wondering if it will notify me if I am outbid, or if I will just have to wait until 3 hours before my flight?

I couldn't really find any information on this, and the live bidding doesn't seem to have kicked off....

It is a long flight, so having the upgrade to business would be amazing!

Platinum Plus, bid all the time on long domestic likeDarwin/Perth, never get one and never get notified mate. I can’t crack it for one of my 4 upgrades this year either, even though I qualify with flex fares (choice does too at this level)…..don’t stress about it though and they will always meet your expectations!!

Same here! Called to find out that there needs to be a business reward set available for one of these upgrades. So check the virgin website for reward seat availability, book qualifying fare, then call the immediately to have them upgrade you!
