Indeed. The more viewpoints and perspectives, the better.

And it will be an impregnable one. What you purchased was an economy fare with an upgrade to a premium economy seat. Not a premium economy fare. You did not "upfare". Big difference.
I say that as someone who worked for UA as a Reservation Sales Representative during my first two years of law school, but has never been higher than a Premier Platinum member, and is unlikely to do so. UA also unilaterally took away my contractual right as a life member of the United Club to access the lounge when not flying UA or a Star Alliance partner.

We encourage you to remain a part of the FlyerTalk community, and further learn the intricacies of the UA MileagePlus™ program, as written and as applied.
If you want to go ahead and arbitrate, have at it. It could benefit many of us here. However, based on our collective knowledge, we think your likelihood of success is minuscule.
