Good tip on the PN thing, I did not know about that . So if the PN has a number it means there is GS waiting with a RPU?

The hardest thing with all this upgrade stuff is finding flights that will clear.
It would be good if United put in a search function that included 'R Class" as a field, so you could search a flight from XXX-YYY , W class , R Space open - any date
GS upgrades (C/R/GPU) clear into PN, so if PN>0 that usually means no GS are waitlisted for an upgrade, and you'll be near the top.

Would love for an R-available search option, but somehow this has never been a priority for UA. There is a browser extension created by sbm12 that will highlight the upgrade and saver award inventories in your searches, which helps a bit, but you still have to go day by day.
