I declined the offer, and then checked the upgrade list, and my name is not on there. I guess today I am not in Continental's good graces. I have no idea what is going on with their crazy systems, but I'm a little annoyed right now...
I received the same message when my wife actually did get the upgrade. It appears you need to A) Be on X inventory, and then B) show up on the list.
