CPUs clearing BEFORE normal windows
 

One of my upgrades for Monday cleared well before the 72 hr Plat CPU window. I didn't get an email from UA yet, I just happened to check seats this AM and saw that both my companion and I were upgraded around 80 hours out.

Is this out of the ordinary?

That happened to my Uncle
 

a couple of times at old CO. Error in SHARES perhaps?

It happened to me for a flight last Tuesday. Upgrade cleared ~60 hours out.

I think it happened to me, with an upgrade possibly happening a few hours before the 48 hour mark, it may have happened exactly at the 48 hour mark however.

It happened to me as well last week. CPU cleared at about T99.

Here's a fun scenario which still seems to be true:

You may wish to check your credit card statement for any mysterious charge of a two-figure sum ending with 9.

Me too
 

On a mid-march flight ORD-LGA my CPU cleared T-106 hrs, half a day sooner than the listed opening of the 1K window (T-96 hrs).

My upgrade on a SFO A319 redeye this week cleared 5.5 days early...

I'm not complaining! :p

If indeed this is an error, it's nice to see one FINALLY benefiting the customer... Hard to believe that all the issues are system glitches when they ALL screw the customer. If the system is really that bad, there should be a lot of screwups in the customers favor too eh?

There are. Tons of posts on such screwups in the customers' favor. EQMs based on flown class v. purchased class.

This Has happened to me before and after 3/3/2012. Consequently I a always check daily starting a week out so I can choose different seat if I want.

Sure would be nice. Still waiting on SFO-IAH and IAH-MIA upgrade

I've noticed this happening a couple of times recently on shorter haul flights where Y appears to be close to oversold with paid F close to empty. My unvalidated hypothesis is that if they consistently have short haul routes where paid F sales are soft but last-minute Y strong, they clear ahead of the CPU timeframes to free up extra Y inventory. Like I said, speculative!

This bug is apparently still in the system. I just got upgraded at T-95 (Plat window is 72 hrs) on a wide-open A-320 from SFO-SAN. G fare, and plenty of seats still available, so I'm inclined to believe the explanation given in the other thread linked previously in this thread: it's a time zone bug.

My flight departs at 10:30pm PST, which is the next day in Houston/Chicago -- and my CPU cleared in the midnight sweep.
