That's a bug known log since before the merger. Once upgraded you go into a bucket displaying a 0% earning. But you will get the bonus you expect.

The 1K desk is now for all premiers?
Have not tried the 1K baggage desk yet
No, I checked with a Premier Silver colleague who had a different phone number.

There are two different kinds of upgrades being discussed. Segment upgrades, which offer a low amount to upgrade to F, are only advertised
(at OLCI and kiosk) once the booked elites are accounted for. The buy up to F (sUA had a similar program), can be done by anyone at anytime. Some/most of the ridiculously low ones were recently reported by UA Insider as being due to a bug in identifying market cities (I forget the exact term, but IAD/DCA being considered WAS and EWR/LGA/JFK being considered NYC). The term TOD has really lost it's meaning because people throw it out when the offer is $350.

If they is you, you're right. You'll have to wait until they key in your number instead of swiping. Not sure how to get a replacement, but I bet the UC matrons can tell you.
