Question Upgrade Emails, what's the point ?!

Hey,

I just received 2 upgrade offer emails for the 2 flights I have on 5 aug, and I wonder what is the point of these offers ?

I mean, you get no lounge, no chauffeur... I'm currently booked in Economy Flex Plus, and a paid upgrade for all legs (roundtrip) would cost me ~900 EUR.

And the funny thing is that these two offers cost (500+400) ~900 EUR... And this is only for the outbound flight!

Is this a kind of bait and switch?

(Maybe the price is the same no matter your fare type, and it's more profitable for a special/saver ticket ?)

Cheers
