Does anyone have insight as to this issue/scenario? I booked 6 transatlantic flights in economy class, most of them separately but linked because we had to use flight credits which cannot be combined with other tickets on the record locator. I can see paid upgrade offers on the app for all the record locators except one. These were all booked under O class. No basic economy. Why wouldn't the paid upgrades show for one record locator? I'm wondering if this is an indication of some other issue that we are not aware of.

I'm just GLD so I'm on the comp upgrade list but I receive offers in the app often. I periodically get email offers but they've been there when I follow the link.

But even if it shows up for all 6, I doubt you would be able to buy it for all 6 at the indicated price.

If it’s a regional jet operated by republic, should I still get an upgrade offer?
I have never gotten one. This is for July 10, from JFK-BOS.
has anyone who hasn’t been getting them get it fixed by AA?

Yes you should. In my experience, the instant upgrades have been $205 (occasionally $76) even when the actual up-fares have been $39-$49.

Are these offers not available to non-status fliers? I routinely fly with my no-status minor child on separate PNR's with copious amounts of notes so everyone knows they're not truly an UM - we frequently have sticker upgrades clear this way. But when I get offers on the app, they do not.

Got JFK-RDU Tuesday before Thanksgiving just dropped from $380 to $155. Would actually consider this, but I've also got $560 RDU-DFW on the same ticket on Saturday after the holiday which is not tempting. So I'll just sit tight and see if that comes down.

I have had consistent offers for $205 per sector on LAS - PHX - FAT - PHX - LAS in June (so a total of $820 per person to upgrade in the app). Original coach fare was $305 per person. First is currently $912 per person.
Today I had a new offer "From $65 per person" which was actually $205 for LAS - PHX, $65 for PHX - FAT, $136 for FAT - PHX and $205 for PHX - LAS.
I took the PHX - FAT - PHX upgrades without hesitation.
