I received same this week, with same result (no upgrade actually available for purchase).
I also got discounted upgrade offers ($97) right after booking on two recent bookings, which then never appeared again. I was regretting not taking one on the outbound, but all turned out okay, as I scored the comp upgrade at T-72 as AS 75K.

AA is much better than UA or DL in terms of processing upgrades prior to check-in.
