Thank you for the replies. @TheMiddleSeat That’s a good way to look at the fares and I do understand she’s getting a Companion Fare. Thanks for breaking it down that way. To be clear, I can go to the desk at the gate day of the flight and update us both to business class at that point? Does that option become available 24 hours prior to the flight in the app (currently only available for me, not her Companion ticket)
I’m assuming the cost to upgrade will be different for her vs me, correct?
Thank you again

I'm really going to try and be clear here mostly because I'm confused myself so I apologize in advance if I belabor the point in an effort to be clear.
I qualified for Companion Pass last week, got an e-mail confirming this is fact. I read through the terms of service (yea, I'm the guy that actually reads those things) and it says my companion "May be asked to show the pass when checking in". We are traveling the first week of next month and it say the pass may take 21 days to arrive, is that going to be a problem for us when we go to the airport?
OK, that was the easy one, here is where it gets difficult. I am not A-list (which I guess is going to matter) I prefer to buy Business Select for multiple reasons, one of which is the boarding spot. I read in the TOS that my Companion would not be able to board with me in the specific case of Business Class. No problem (I thought), I'll just buy Anytime and upgrade to Business Select. Well, I can't upgrade my Companion, only mine.
I understand why they reserve those 1-15 spots for paying customers, but I am willing to pay to upgrade, it's just the option isn't available. Anytime does come with Early Bird, but we are on separate reservations so I'm not sure we will be boarding together as I've read sometimes in this situation people are 30+ spots apart.
I would really like to get us both Business Select. In a spot like this what is the best practice to get us to board together and as close to first as possible?
Thank you for any information you can provide and let me know if I need to give more details.
