Chase Ultimate Rewards points can be converted to United miles. See information about United's upgrade options here:

I am not a UA flyer, but it appears that an upgrade from discounted economy requires 20,000 miles plus $550 one-way (40,000 miles & $1100 round trip), in addition to the cost of the paid ticket.
