He was just planning to stay in Y to save money, but I would've taken it. I called UA to see about me buying-up and removing my PPs and they said that they'd already sold the 3 available seats and that there were none left. I tried again with the gate agent with no luck. Needless to say, my PPs never cleared.
Now I understand why I have never received buy-up option.

Not sure the logic behind not providing buy-up options to PP waitlisted passengers.
