Upgrades on UA

Is there anyway to use miles, or a gold preferred status to upgrade on UA operated flights on a discounted fare?

I'm Platinum and have never been able to upgrade on United even on travel days offering to pay for e upgrades nothing has ever been available - this has happened even when I booked on US Air and one of the segments was on UA metal

You need to fly a 777 on a holiday weekend. Both times I was op-upped to J on UA it was on a 777 on a holiday weekend. ^ ^

I know how you feel. For the exception of one time with an OP-UP, I have never been upgraded on UA with my US status. I dont expect it or ask for it.

I have flown UA many many many times as a US elite and have been upgraded exactly once.

Luckily, it was from Y to C on a transcon ps flight.
