Pretty sure this was a great deal and I took it. I wouldn't feel bad if I overpaid cause its the first day the flight is being offered with the new polaris on the 777-300er. For a PIT-SFO-TPE segment I paid $722 for an upgrade to Polaris Business/First.

Just a quick f/u on previous post on upgrade offer SFO-KOA. T48 was just over $700, went to just over $300 at T24. Didn't pull the trigger but RPU did clear at about T22 into a not so great F seat (probably better off in my "Hobo First" E+ exit row seat). From what I saw someone bought one of the last five F seats (obviously don't know the price) the remaining went to CPU or instruments.

Passed on both, as I've got an exit row and sitting at the top of both upgrade lists already.

Scratching my head on these two, need some help from united, because 1K line doesn't understand it either.
At booking:
SFO-CLE $297
CLE-SFO $554
BUT if I buy both together it's $902 (but 297 + 554 is 851)
SFO-MSP $202
MSP-SFO $224
BUT if I buy both together its $460 (but 202 + 224 is 428)
If I attempt to buy just one leg, I get an error message and the site crashes. Log back in, and my ticket is out of synch. The gentleman at the 1K line got the same result and didn't understand it. Ported me over to web support and they won't help. Got yelled at by someone named Kim Moore.

HKG-SIN on Friday P to Global First offer after check-in $249 accepted since GF is worth it for 3.5 hours when United Business is in the 2-4-2 configuration. It says Y is Full so I might have missed an operational upgrade but for the piece of mind given what my state of mind will be like by then seemed worth it!

sorry if this is the wrong forum but I have a quick question.
I am flying SFO-PVG-PEK-SFO next month and purchased an upgrade using miles and cash on the PEK-SFO segment. Today, I had to change the return date of the PEK-SFO flight and noticed that my upgrade is no longer available. Am I out of luck and forfeited the upgrade because of the change?
Thank you.

If you used miles and cash and changed to a flight where the upgrade is no longer available, your miles and cash should be refunded (or you can waitlist the upgrade on the new flight).

The flight is for the following day and there are upgrades available using miles and cash.

Sorry, having a bit of trouble understanding this, as these two statements seem contradictory:
Regardless, I think the answer is you need to call United and ask either (i) to confirm the upgrade if the space is available, (ii) to waitlist for the upgrade if it is not available, or (iii) have your miles and cash refunded if you just want them back. They may charge you a redeposit fee for option (iii).
