Let me clarify my answer above. Because of my status (1K) I personally have been successful at upgrading on 100% of my requests on United. What I said is that I've yet to see a flight this year in which United completely cleared the upgrade list of everyone (lower level Premiers and General Public) who wanted an upgrade. I think MileKing is correct that there seems to be a heavier than usual amount of folks trying to use their upgrades these past 2 months.
