It seems the online/app upgrades are by far the most value, and they try to book upgrades this way, well in advance. Even when there are still seats open, I think the airlines assume that last-minute requests will be willing to pay more, and price accordingly now.
it’s interesting how different airlines do it…my return is on AA and the upgrade price changes constantly..with DL it has been pretty consistent. I keep hoping it will go down a bit more!

once online checkin o-ens will the app offers go away?
