Call UA and ask them what the cost to upgrade is, or call web support directly, tell them that you're not seeing an upgrade offer on your flight, and ask if one is available.
Sometimes you do really dislike the offer you get. For my PVG-ORD flight, I had a really nice offer of $4,153....... For no reason, my wife got a cheaper deal: $4,065......... That was when Polaris Business was only sold 33/50 at check-in time.....The upgrade cleared at T-23.
