Thanks.
The answer to this question is simple. You keep going back to the UA *A upgrade page and try again and again or you keep calling to try and upgrade again and again. Day after day until it goes through, your flight departs or you simply get fed up and give up.

And persistance pays off, as you'll see higher up in this thread in replies, checking daily right up until a couple days before departure resulted in one of my recent upgrades clearing to my shocking, and pleased, surprise.
