Most of the articles I found on Google discussed upgrading with miles rather than cash.
It can be very difficult. Be aware that some corporate fares can be difficult to upgrade through UA ... I have failed on that before. If this is a non-discounted fare that you simply have to book through your travel portal you should be able to upfare w/o a change fee.
