Don't beat yourself up too much! Yes, if a requested upgrade does not clear, the e500s are normally redeposited.

Do you forsee yourself flying anywhere else on UA between now and this spring where you might be able to use your e500s? I had good luck on using them DEN-LAX and DEN-SFO (757 and 767 especially) when I was a 1P and that was a good value, as it cost two e500s to upgrade and certain flights had meal service.
