Was waiting for an offer at check in. But someone had already taken an offer (presumably). Is there a way to call and ask for buy up offers? Can web support help? Seems like this is a genuine website issue.
If everyone keeps buying up the offers, then eventually upgrades will be 0% instead of 5%. Do not buy the buy-ups!

Is domestic first ever worthwhile? Its a good upgrade but barely something worth paying more than a few dollars for.
