My question might sound odd, but if you bid the minimum and there are emply seats in biz... are you GUARANTEED to have the bid accepted or could they just decide to fly the empty seat instead?

I'm asking because on each and every flight so far they have announced onboard that upgrades are available... so either there were ZERO bids pending at the minimum amount... or they were ignored in the hope that someone will pay more to upgrade onboard after take-off.

Not sure what to make of all this...
