Is that even possible? If the GA misread it, are they even able to reprice an upgrade to charge so little?
@ICN1K were both segments the same flight number? That might cause the system to hiccup and offer oddly low prices like this.

Recently, HNL-SFO US$309 for a lay flat; original fare class S. Too way down (#7 or #8 ) on the upgrade list for a freebie. Declined. If the offer were half that, I'd bite.

Now if it only re-fares to a P fare on your MilagePlus account that'll be icing on the cake (I'm guessing not considering the receipt says PREMIUM CABIN UPGRADE but you never know).

EWR-LAX still showed K after the upgrade. LAX-LAS changed to P after the upgrade which allowed me to do SDCs to LAX-SFO-LAX-DEN-SFO-LAS.

United Express is now flying CRJ 700s on FNT-ORD. Everytime I have done online check-in I am getting TOD between $9 and $29. I will take the offer Everytime as 2 drinks, one pre board and one in air it's almost a wash and sometimes I come out ahead.

I thought the prevailing sentiment was that United was offering TODs to kettles and not to those with status.

I see. I did not know that. I'll see if I keep getting TODs. Three of the TODs I got were for Economy to Polaris Business. One was for Polaris Business to Polaris First after my GPU to Business had already cleared. My Platinum wife also gets TODs. Out of the 4 flights, she did not get it one time because Polaris Business was sold out. Three out of four is not bad. We tend to do the check-in exactly when the system allows us to do it (24 hours before our first flight).
