LGA - DFW Upgraded at T-26, upgrades were selling for $180 and $230 three and two days prior.

12/25, as Platinum

ONT-DFW cleared at T-26. This flight ended up almost empty in Y due to a delay that I think was a product of the 12/24 ground stop. I don't think there were many more people in Y than in F. It was the emptiest AA flight I'd seen in years.

DFW-DSM cleared at T-48.

12/25 ORD-DFW - cleared before I even booked the flight, was upgraded while it was on hold (sub-24 hours to departure). First time that's happened!

Have too many to post at the moment but generally have been JFK-LAX, LAX-JFK, PHL-SAN,PHL-DFW-ONT,PHL-PHX-ONT,ONT-DFW-LGA,SAN-CLT-PHL all cleared upgrades.
In the last 3 months I'm 22/23 on the upgrades with the only outlier being a last second flight I had to book PHL-SAN 4 hours prior to departure, where I was 1 of 27 with 0 seats available. Did not clear. But did get 8C. Was ashame too because I had a JFK-LAX upgrade that day that had to be cancelled (late meeting) otherwise I'd be a perfect 22/22.
400K Rolling LP.

Only real interesting data point I can add is I had a flight clear at T-48 (that was like J4) instead of the usual T27-T24 ish timeframe.
