3 econ. -> bus. upgs in last 4 flights - what gives?

Yes, I feel extremely fortunate!

Of the last four flights I've taken with Iberia I've been upgraded to business class three times. So I get oyster mushrooms and gin and tonic on economy prices. (DUB-BCN and AMS-BCN routes)

I've got a frequent flyer card, but haven't enough points to get a silver or gold version of same.

The three flights in question have been full in economy, thus the bump, I imagine.

But is it as simple as that? Is it just that I've got a FF card and that's enough to flag me and get my bumped up?

Anyone with any insight into this situation? And how does one position oneself to benefit from this senario time and time again? (Flying on busy days such as Monday or Friday, for example might be a contributing factor.)
