NRT to KUL on MH71 (over night flight) connecting onto BKK flight next morning for 33240 JPY (booked under O so no mileage except to their own Enrich program).

1.5 weeks after booking, got the first upgrade eligible email and placed the lowest possible bid at the time of 35365JPY for just the NRT to KUL portion.

Fast foward to 5 days before the flight, got the "Last Chance" email.
Accidentally cancelled my bid, so re-placed the lowest bid which was actually lower at 32890 JPY for the NRT to KUL portion again.

3 days before my flight got the confirmation that I've been upgraded.

If it's any indication, 5 seats left at Business Flex fare with 29 hours left to departure.
