Booked November 1: SFO-DEN-PHX-DEN-SFO mileage run for $267 in Y.
Instant upgrade pricing to F was $129 per leg or $516 total.
Buying F from the get go was $506 total. So $277 more to upgrade vs. buying F outright.

sfo-iah-fll $335
I was waitlisted with an RPU but it was not looking good, and the sfo-iah was on a 787 (which I hadn't flown), so I bit.
Still haven't gotten my rpu back, guess I have to call.

Flew YYC to IAH today (UA 1599) and was offered a buy up to Biz for $179. I declined as all I was going to do was sleep.
I was somewhat surprised to see this offer on an award ticket.

My wife is on UA 1469 today DEN/ORD L fare, no status. She took the $129 TOD offer at check in around 20-22 hours pre flight. She said UA would also refund the $47 she paid for a E+ bulkhead.

1292 IAH-ORD 10/16
1k, H fare
$119
14/20 booked @ OLCI, no one on the cleared list. Currently (T-3) 18/20 booked, no one on the cleared list. I'm currently #3 on the UG list. Something tells me UA didn't sell 4 F tickets in the last 21 hours.

Co-worker bragging that she took my upgrade tomorrow from ATL - ORD.
I'm #1 on list and all F is now full.
She had S fare, offered $49, no status. Have to love TOD
