Hkg-bne redeye in early Jan already ticketed in "Y" flexi. SQ Gold.
hkd-sin either 770 hkd for PEY or 2.4k hkd for J
sin-bne 9300 hkd for J
to put into context i wanted to buy J in first place but they wanted 43k hkd for one-way... so i reluctantly bot Y full fare at 10k hkd (based off return, i will use the leg sometime anyways) so with 12k hkd (120pct of fare paid) additional i.got a J seat. not a bad deal i thought
if i wanted to be cheap i just skip hkg-sin upgrade but flights all chocker full with holiday season so spent extra

So I got an upgrade offer email (PE, R to Business) yesterday for my return flight SQ21 EWR-SIN on 8 Jan, but unfortunately only just noticed the email and when I choose to Get Upgraded it says:
Does this mean I was too late and all the possible award/upgrade seats have already been taken by others?
Or is there still a chance something may come up if I keep refreshing MySQUpgrade every now and then?
And also, does everyone get their PE to Business offer upgrade at the same price (when the offers are sent out)? Or is it the case that if a possible upgrade were to be available now, it would be priced higher than people who paid for the upgrade before me?
Thanks!
"There is currently no more seats available. You may try again later up till 6 hours before departure or enquire at check-in for any seat availability."

SFO-SIN from PE to business $2000 USD per person. I have no idea if it was a good deal (probably not), but my husband's company pays for our PE seats, so it was absolutely worth it to us to pay $6k (myself, husband and our 5 year old) out of our own pockets to fly business instead. Also, that was our 5th time flying that route and I've never been offered the opportunity to upgrade before.
Also, after flying business on that route once, I'm absolutely hooked 😂 , so I need to find a way to be able to do it the next time we fly SIN-SFO.

Want to upgrade but can't see what seats are free before payment, and more!
Hi
First time flying SQ for a long time.
We booked PE. DUB-AMS-SIN and SIN-FRA-DUB a few months ago.
For the return (01/05/2023 SQ326 and EI657) We are considering upgrading to Business.
1. We realise that only the SIN-FRA can be upgraded so is it better to phone than choose the price on the website?
2. Is it likely the offer that might be made close to departure date would not be better than what we would pay now?
3. Looked at the online option and wonder why we can't see seat plan before payment? There are seats we wouldn't want to be allocated.
4. Can anyone see the seat plan for me?

2. There is no rule here. Maybe yes, maybe no. Recently, many of the upgrade offers have been quite high.
3.&4. Not sure, how the upgrade process works online so can't answer. Below is current seatmap:

Offered $640 SGD again on SQ878 (SIN-TPE)... ridiculous. Same price as last year. And just like last year, the base ticket is a redemption. Unlike last year, this time it looks like there will be significantly more than 20 people on the flight
