Question: is it still UA policy that if you get upgraded using miles on only 1 of 2 segments you waitlisted for, that it's considered a "used" upgrade?

I'd like to use 22k miles to upgrade SBA-SFO-OGG. I feel the SBA-SFO leg will clear for sure but don't want to use my miles if it's only for that short segment. I recall the solution is to call in and have them apply it for the longer SFO-OGG leg only?

TIA!

Yes they will consider it an upgrade if only the short segment clears. And yes you can request only the long segment. Also, if you want to wait a bit and see if it clears (all segs) you can refuse the short segment upgrade even at the gate if it looks like the long seg won't clear.
