Will put in a minimal bid and see what happens. Anyone else get a similar offer in the past?
Surprisingly, my bid of around USD 120 was accepted CMB-BKK. Nice flight on an A330 with lie-flat seats. The only J seats available for sale a few days before the upgrade notice were around USD 1,000, which makes me think few seats were available and not many tried to purchase an update considering my lowball offer.
