I received the upgrade confirmation email from United but it had no passenger name nor certificate number. Wondering if anyone has encountered this before. If this is a feature as opposed to a bug, then I would have to choose which flight to upgrade.

The price difference for B-fare versus lower fare class was small enough this time, I was OK with it even if no upgrades cleared, so having one leg clear was nice. 100% RDM and EQM versus 50% was worth the ~$150 (2.5 cpm) fare difference to me.
Again- depends on which inventory you are looking at.

For example- I am trying to upgrade myself on BR51 from IAH to o TPE on 12/7. There are 5 Z seats but zero I.

SAUA failed.

but due to my status I got premium economy
