Please read: This is a community-maintained wiki post containing the most important information from this thread. You may edit the Wiki once you have been on FT for 90 days and have made 90 posts.
An official POUG is defined (for the purposes of this wiki) as the rate that appears in red on the MMB/BA app. It is NOT the rate offered at the airport (please see http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/briti...ng-thread.html), or the rate offered when you click on the Upgrade my class of travel with money link from within MMB, or the Upgrade to the next available cabin blue/grey banner in the app.
All POUGs earn full TPs and Avios for the upgraded cabin, subject to the original booking being paid for with cash.
POUGs *ARE* offered on Hand-Baggage Only fares, if available
POUGs only become available after 48 hours of making your booking, until any time up to, and including OLCI. After being checked in you will not be offered a POUG.
POUGs do not seem to become available for travel agent bookings, until 2-3 days before departure (YMMV)
POUGs cannot be requested from Service Centres, except that occasionally BA.com will not proceed with a POUG online and display a message inviting you to call the Service Centre to complete the transaction.
After a POUG has been purchased, the ticket become non changeable and non refundable, apart from government taxes.
Please add to this list as required, and include the month/year when the POUG is offered to you.

£500 to upgrade both legs on my ET flight from LGW-JER.........I can fly half way around the world to Seoul in Y for that and still have £123 left in my pocket.
Im connecting from a BA UK Domestic flight to BA1542/ AA87 (LHR-ORD), booked into economy but where do I go in Terminal 3 to enquire about paying for an upgrade, if available. Any ballpark figures on how much this could be?
I'm not sure whether AA offer the equivalent of any special upgrade fares, so you could possibly only be offered the fare difference. Ask at check-in, which is located in Zone F in T3 (or Zone H, the special Flagship check-in, if you're oneworld Emerald).

I was happy with my exit row seat. So I didn't get a cold salmon salad or whatever but ended up with a good 3-4x more legroom.
Think CE was full on both flights.
