Route: SFO-PHL
Original fare bucket: T
Price offered: US$299
PCU/UFC?: PCU
Offered right after I purchased my main ticket.
Denied.

Here are the circumstances. Itinerary was PHL-IAH-LAX-HNL; HNL-SFO-PHL. Other legs (not all) were being offered for 1000+. The SFO-PHL was a redeye flight.

I tried to go back into my reservation and do the Upgrade option, though it was not available. The upsell seemed to be a one-time, during-reservation offer. Did I do the right thing? It would have been nice to have a nice hot breakfast or dinner in First Class, though we're talking redeye here. What would I get, a stupid sandwich wrap? For US$299? Naw, especially if maybe I might get upgraded anyway with CPU (I'm UA Gold).
