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:

Declined...200 per hour....not worth it...
When I checked in I asked if there were any LMU's available for purchase and was offered this at $249. Took it.

YUL YYZ $159 J5 C5 D5 Z5 Y9 B9 M9 U9 H9 Q9 V9 W0 S0 T0 L0 K0 N9 G0 P0 E0 A0 R3
YYZ SFO $498 J4 C4 D1 Z1 Y9 B9 M9 U9 H9 Q9 V9 W9 S4 T0 L0 K0 N9 G9 P4 E0 A0 R0
Declined both @ 22.5 h before 2nd leg.
I put in my bet for 10 eUpgrades for the 2nd flight, but not willing to waste 6 for the first in case the 2nd doesn't clear. A bit silly....

YYZ - MCO
T-19.5 hours
from Tango + to Executive
$548+tax.
hahaha
But it does sound like someone's reading, going "hmm, looks like they'll go for $200 an hour..."
The price I'd be willing to pay per hour is also related to the duration of the flight and the equipment. Not on an Airbus 319 for this distance.

$599+tax for direct YYT-YVR on an AP ticket. Not bad for 9.75 hours on the plane (if you include the 45 mins on the ground in YYZ.) Declined. (I feel like the extra 17k points for J is worth less than $599+tax, so if I really wanted J, I just would've booked it from the beginning.)

AC92 YYZ - SCL, $1398 + tax on a T+ fare departing today. Declined.
Offered at T-27 (I have an earlier connection to YYZ). J = at least 4.
I put in for upgrade at T - 7 days with J = around 9 IIRC. Still on exec standby.
