Thankfully my routes are a) less than 733 miles or b) transcon so I use a lot of confirmed instruments and only play the CPU game on short flights.

Occasionally I do get an offer but the amount is really high. If that's what others are getting offered, then I can live with that. There seems to be differing info on this point.
UA must not like you guys, who did you offend?
But seriously, this GS has been (last few months, its started in December and ramped up in January and even more in February) getting lots of upsell offers. Upsell offer at ticketing, upsell offer by e-mail, upsell offer at check in, upsell offer when I got to print my boarding passes at the airport (if you miss this, you miss the BEST UPSELLS, these are the cheap ones). The notable thing is the price always goes down, not up. Sort of a reverse auction.
If you want a cheap TOD, pick a flight with R/A showing, and go reprint your tickets at the EasyChick'n machine. You will get a cheapo upsell offer.
