To you, they may fit the "rules" of the program - to virtually everyone else, they seem completely random.

Of course it can change - everyone knows airline pricing is dynamic. What would be more logical is for the price of a buy-up to increase the closer you get to departure time - as scarcity generally increases price (assuming the F cabin starts to fill up). When you see the price drop every time you check back, Occam's Razor says it's a desperate attempt to get something, ANYTHING as opposed to giving something away for free.

I'm not doubting your ability to give facts - I commend you on it. Yet every day there seems to be a new factor causing more confusion/frustration - first it's the connecting fare bucket issue, now it's multiple fares in the same fare bucket. Who knows what's next.

Stay classy by the way - the FUD you speak of is clearly already festering in the CO community, and was long before I started spending more time on the forum. When most PPlats say their program is a bust, when you hear tales of countless other Plats questioning the value of their status, and you hear the latest "enhancement" that someone knows we're just gonna love - all the charts and explanations don't do much. But keep defending, it's amusing.
