Continental flight - Virgin miles?

[Hilary]

I know I can convert miles earned on a Continental flight to earn Virgin miles, but can I SPEND Virgin miles on a Continental flight upgrade (it's not a codeshare flight)?

You can spend them on a Continental flight, but, on the face of it, it doesn't look as though you can use them for upgrades.
