Flight Pass: South America
There is conflicting information regarding the booking class:
Regarding upgrades it states:
Flight credit bookings are subject to the availability of the U booking class in Flex (see Terms and Conditions for details)
In the Terms and Conditions is states:Flight credit bookings using this Flight Pass are subject to the availability of the Flex M booking class only.
Not that it makes much of a difference.Regarding upgrades it states:
Upgrades using Star Alliance Upgrade Awards are also permitted as per the terms and conditions of the Star Alliance Upgrade Awards program. Learn more at aircanada.com/saua.
According to my understanding SAUAs will NOT work with U nor M class.

I have purchased several of these and it definitely books into U class. You are correct that Star Alliance upgrades will not work with a Flex South America pass. I have been successful (one exception) with getting upgrades on almost every flight using eupgrade credits as an SE.
