wonder if its true or if she was just telling me this to get me off the phone.

What do you mean by "the plane was empty"? If the class you booked in was empty, you will not receive an op-up.

Op-ups typically happen, when the class you travel is overbooked and the higher class has spare seats. Don't forget that Gold card holders are preferred over Silver card holders.
