Last time in SCL, there were 5 seats available. At the airport (T-2) while I was at the Signature Check-in, SS told me that the system had already upgraded 2 bidders, and told me literally "the system is still waiting to see if it's gonna assign more upgrades through bidding" (again, 2 hours before departure). 90 min before departure, while I was grabbing a snack at the lounge, SS texted me "hey, I got good news for you, you will be upgraded". I barely made the cut to get an upgrade. In the end there were 3 upgrades through bidding and 2 upgrades through segments. Fun fact: I remember in that flight, there was Black tier passenger that was fuming at the raw 12 (I assume becase he didn't get the upgrade), asking the business menu and demanding business meals to the crew. F*cking weirdo.
