New UA Class PZ - Waitlisted using GPU

I just booked a flight and used two GPUs to waitlist for Polaris.
First the GPU's were not removed from the account
Then the upgrade flights are shown as waitlisted with note --
"You will be automatically confirmed on this flight if space in your request class (PZ) becomes available"

Is this right??

Two character search will fail unless in quotes "PZ" as
Sorry - no matches. Please try some different terms. The following words are either very common, too long, or too short and were not included in your search : pz
in quotes, search should return a number of threads (including this one).

Let's continue discussion in the above threads.

Tokyo R/T from SFO--no R fare buckets available?

Seeking multi-city flight: depart SFO-Kyoto; Return: Tokyo-SFODo United-operated flights not offer R fare buckets to Tokyo? Could not find this fare bucket even listed. Are there better routes than out of Tokyo? Noticed there are non-stops to Tokyo, but could not find that fare bucket.
Thank you for your help!

R has been removed as the upgrade fare class and PZ is not used.

Did RN inventory disappear on Expert Mode?

Hi everyone! Long-time lurker here. Has R/RN inventory disappeared for anyone else? I can't seem to find it anymore. Am I just doing something really silly?

I'm trying to post pictures as an example but I don't have permissions to do so

Angry Expert mode R inventory not shown ?

Hello:
I am not able to see any R inventory in expert mode any longer. Was this removed for everyone ? I am a 1K and million miler on UA.

Not displaying R in expert mode? PZ bucket?

Maybe I haven't caught up with the latest .bomb change. Is it true that we don't have R displayed in expert mode anymore? Don't seem to see it from the fare inventory. Also, what is the PZ bucket?
