Definitely an annoyance -- for me the in-app offers disappear as soon as I waitlist a SWU. My strategy going forward has been to wait until like 1 week out before waitlisting a SWU and checking in-app offers daily (upgrade prices seems to drop around 5-6 weeks out if load is low).
I emailed AAdvantage and their response was :
I contacted a member of our reservation team regarding your question.
They advised the different types of upgrade products are not related,
however, if you are waitlisted using a systemwide upgrade or an upgrade
award the system concludes you are not interested in purchasing an
upgrade if available.
What kind of a flawed logic/assumption is that
I personally feel that AA is not valuing EXP anymore and I will no longer have incentive in the future to try to spend CC or fly towards EXP status. My travel companion got the same in app offer for upgrade ($242) for LAX-JFK and she has no status.
