I'm sure it all depends on the load of the plane. When we first tried it we were on short flights without a ton of people and all our minimum bids were taken. Later we tried on busier flights and were out of luck.
It's a crap shoot really.

Data point: YYZ-LGA-YYZ short hauls, wasn't going to bother but curiosity got the better of me and saw max bid per leg was just $80 ... offered $60, accepted for both legs within 24 hrs.

YYZ-LGW max bid (for now)
Wrote this is another thread, but might as well post here as well. Originally booked the YHZ-LGW non-stop flight (WS24, 737 MAX 8) Premium cabin, but WestJet decided to cancel that route, and re-booked me with the YHZ-YYZ-LGW route instead. I got Premium seats for both legs. YHZ-YYZ not eligible for any upgrade. But I did put the Premium > Business upgrade offer for the YYZ-LGW leg (787-9 Dreamliner). min $370, max $670.
For now, I put the max $ because it turns out that the old non-stop YHZ-LGW Premium fare + max bid is less than the Premium cabin price for the new YHZ-YYZ-LGW route as of writing this post (T-2.5 months). I wonder if the max bid would be an overkill...?
Will report the results a few months later down the road.

You cannot do a bid, if you try it says ticket not eligible. But I don't know about the online checkin upgrade offer. Does anyone have any experience with this? Also, what have people seen on YYZ-YVR on 787 Economy > Business at online checkin offers (not bids)?
