Half a segment?
I just checked ual.bomb to see how many segments I have. Yesterday it said I have 13 and today it says 13.5. Is this some kind of glitch? How is half a segment possible?

You get 1.5 segments for each segment traveled on F, A, P, C, Z, Y and B fares.

Ah, I switched to another flight SFO-LAX and on the bp the booking class was Y that must have been it. Thanks for your help.

Although occasionally (?!!?) ual.bomb makes a mistake, the extra segments/miles are supposed to be earned only with the fare you pay, not the class that you fly in with an upgrade.
