True? No Stickers No Upgrade?

My personal experience or I should say perception is that if you DON'T have stickers sitting in your account that somehow the UpGrAAde never takes place - would that be true?

I'm 24 hours away from my flight - 9 F seats show open on the seat map not a great indicator but ok looks like I have a chance - at 18 hours or so 6 out of the 9 get filled by what looks to be upgrades as several coach seats opened up. Yes I know they could be EXP's but usually on this flight I get upgraded by now...

Again my perception is if stickers are sitting waiting to be used upgrades come thru if not then I wait and wait until the very end and 9 out 10 times no upgrade. Am I crazy? For me lately I don't want to leave stickers just sitting there as they represent cash I could be leaving in my bank - I'll get stickers in the account soon as I know I'm upgraded.
