I am booked in Economy for a flight from CLT to Munich with two other passengers.
It gives me the option to bid for Premium Economy or Business class. This is my first time bidding. Any idea where to start the bidding price for either class? How do you tell how many seats are left? Also, how are you all determining what seats are still open. I can't see the business class part of the plane (only aisle 22-46).

Yes, no money back.

Myoffer terms have been updated effective 27MAR2017:
- no more increased luggage allowance if the bid is successful (primarily affects economy upgrades into PE &C)
- the new booking class reflects the initial booking class, so people booked in Y/B/M or G/E are not penalized in mileage earnings and book into E or Z.
- X or R awards are rebooked into R or I respectively

Good news about the booking class. The luggage allowance enhancement is quite unfortunate...

If you are under the same reservation #, the seat allocation software should put you together if seats are available. You can also manually choose your seats if your bid was successful.
This being said, I had occasions when I was not seating next to my travel mate, but the crew managed to have us seated together in C after boarding.
I would not worry too much.

The normal paid upgrade is offered only if the corresponding booking class is available. This has no direct connection to the myoffer/plusgrade process.

question on bidding for upgrade
I have a RT from SFO To Venice in the fall booked in Premium Economy booking class N,(I think)
I am being told by L that I can not bid up to business with this booking class.This is a fare that is refundable minus a fee. It was not the cheapest PE fare. I had watched the fares for a while and when the 365 days window opened, I booked it. the lower fare that I had been watching was not available.SO do you have to buy the most expensive PE fare to bid?
So why can I not bid? I seem to recall people coach can bid for C. If someone can explain this, I would appreciate it.
