I have say yes, in my case, though usually I tend to be done over when any changes take place.
I had booked MAN-ATL in UC for 45k points plus £1218 plus cc voucher for 2 of us. We needed to be in FLL but there were no MCO UC seats available at that point, so I also booked ATL-FLL on DL for 22k points plus $12ish.
With dynamic pricing, not only did the MCO seats appear, but they’re priced significantly lower than previously on my travel date.
I’ve just booked MAN-MCO in UC for 2 of us for 21k points (i.e. the PE price), plus £864, plus the cc voucher.
Total saving on the cancelled trip is 46k points plus £324.
Still looks to be the coffin seat though 🤦🏻♀️
