Offering 1k advice on United upgrades.
Up for your advice/service consideration are proven strategies to upgrade to 1st class within the US for $250 each way (20 pts) and International Business Class (Polaris) upgrade for $500 each way (40 pts) .
I have plenty of advice strategies and complimentary PlusPoints available.
Full refund on the advice engagement if you're ultimately NOT upgraded, however the chance of upgrading on lower price class tickets with most of my strategies are modest these days and will vary on route/inventory.
For international business class upgrades (Polaris), the ticket must be Fare classes Y, B, M, E, U, H, Q, V, or W.
Much better chance of upgrades on Premium Plus classes R, A, O and only 30 points required ($400) vs.
40 pts for coach ($500)
