So we can all get a handle on how they are going to work in the real world, how much they will cost, et c.
Post flight, date, route, original fare basis (T, T+, Lat, etc), and if known, seat inventory (i.e. J9, C7, Z5, I3). If you do upgrade, please also let us know how many empty J seats there were in the cabin, if any. And if you were considering a certificate upgrade, why or why you didn't opt for the LMU.
It would be helpful if this thread could be limited to "just the facts" and no discussion, which could be posted elsewhere. That should make this thread more useful for everyone.
Should anyone want to discuss LMU's further please post in this thread:

If you have to ask...
If you aren't planning on using eCredits for the promo (or you've used them all), and you can afford it, and it is a price you're tempted by, then do it.
It would suck to be stuck in the back thinking to yourself for 4 hours "I wish I'd paid for the upgrade."
Well, something that would be worse would be thinking to yourself after you got off the plane, "why did I spend money for that?"
Let us know what you decide!

YHZ-YYZ Tango fare
$289.00 (2hr flight = $145/hr)
Seems a little high to me, declined.

SFO to YVR : 279us$
YVR to YEG : 140us$
took them both. Little pricy thou.
Both legs got delayed for like 2hrs.
I was too tired to wait in the gate so the lounge access was a bonus too.
Seats and foods were good on both legs too.

I've never seen such a high price for a LMU...from YVR-YYZ.

On an AE reward ticket:
YYT-YHZ $169+tax
YHZ-YUL $169+tax
Not bad, as I believe I've seen it higher in the past.
