I am 1 for 4 (25%) CPU's this year. Success on PDX-SFO IIRC. Longest non upgraded flight this year will be the one I'm on now.
Just boarded LAX-ORD and will end up #1 on the upgrade list. Only 9 upgrades cleared on this 752 and from check-in I hovered between #1 and #3 on the list. As much as I wanted to clear, I don't think there were any shenanigans. Two upgrades cleared at the gate and only 1 GS on the flight (called by name at the gate). UA wanted $5XX for the upgrade at check-in, too rich for me.
