Offering them to anyone on Premier miles is just another example of how CO really can't manage SHARES -- I can't believe they actually intend for it to work this way, but they seem powerless to reprogram the logic. There's reason why many airlines outsource this aspect of the operation.
All this really indicates is that the flight had literally zero elites booked, right?
My understanding is that the award ticket / Credit Card holder upgrades are prioritized below every other potential upgrader? (I admit, my understanding may not be correct. The process, at UA, is opaque.
)
PS mitchmu: If you don't have the card, get it. Especially if you will be burning more of your miles...
edit: I take that back. with your luck you won't get upgraded anyway...
