Just wondering if there are ways/tips to increase chances of winning the bid to upgrade to business from economy on flights. Apart from paying the max for the bid or using points.

So far on every economy flight, the ones I have placed the bid on, I am yet to be successful 😞 😂

Anyone can help with this query?

Thank you.
