There's no guarantee how they will distribute the seat availability, but it is true that some saver seats are only released to elites and United CC holders. Standard awards are only available to elites and United CC holders.

Standard awards are always available, but only to elites and United CC holders. Saver is a space-limited award, generally about half the cost of a standard award. However, the concepts of saver and standard awards are going away as United moves to dynamic award pricing.
