That's what I understand from the T&C stating that original fare class and membership tier will be factors affecting the bid success
"original fare + upgrade bid"
Tricky one to manage - if the aggregate is equivalent to straight revenue fare then this upgrade bid might as well not exist. If the aggregate is significantly lower then it will affect passenger behaviour (passengers buy cheaper (PE) ticket then expect to upgrade)
