If the DidItClear website is going to be effective, it needs more members and trip upgrade data!
Please visit https://www.diditclear.com/ and include your trip experience with CPU's, RPU's, GPU's and any other means of upgrading available on United.
The better the data, the better the search results and experiential history.

Last minute sweating upgrade - UA89 - Jan 14, 2013
Mechanical delay of ALB-EWR, UA79 took off when I arrived. Immediately re-booked EWR-PEK, grabbed the last seat after the agents sorted out everything. Was very thankful for that ridiculously long period of the flight.

Promising start of year:
Jan 17: LHR-IAH-LAX cleared at booking [IAH-LAX initially 787, then swapped for 767-400ER].
Feb 4: LAX-LHR cleared at booking
Jan 23: SFO-SYD cleared at T-5 days after I noticed J6...R1 [was originally on LAX-SYD sitting at J9P7...R0 and decided to play safe and change flight. Of course, complications ensued with extra GPU pulled... but I hope to resolve that soon. FWIW more details at http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/20079544-post153.html]
