classic points upgrade vs bid now
I have just booked a flight to and from the states in April next year. I did this trip a couple of years ago and was successfully able to upgrade with points from PE to business both ways - last time on the cross pacific flights. I found out about the flight home about 5 hours before the flight and going over around 20 hours. I have put in for the same this time.
With 'Bid Now' running, am I less likely to get a points upgrade? Has anyone gotten a 'bid now' opportunity if they have put in for a points upgrade? (I am silver).
