Luckily, it was within 24 hours of booking, so, i cancelled and re-booked with my united card.
Not going to work for me, I booked with Amex biz plat.

Bought a fully refundable ticket and then upgraded one leg to E comfort. I'm trying to cancel now but they'll only refund the flight and not the upgrade.
Worth calling in?

Sure, but you run the risk of them not putting you on another flight. Not worth that risk IMO

im aware of that risk, my question is just if they would charge me all sorts of fees to get rebooked.

Random question. I haven't coach tickets, from mileage, to LA from NY in a week and a half. It says its like $150 to upgrade to the better more room coach seats. Any ideas on how to upgrade in a less expensive fashion. Mileage is almost double for those seats. Probably no way, but figured I'd ask. These are on Delta.

Ok. Anyone know how I can get status on Delta so I can get a free upgrade. We both have Delta credit cards but not much in mileage.

Worth it if he plans on flying with DL a few more times before status expires.

From someone with the ability to gift it (one way is top status members with some airlines can get that "gift" as a yearly benefit).

Speaking of gifting status.
If a  UA GS member gifts the million miler benefit of giving a companion same status, what would happen if the companion is also a million miler would his companion get global service?
Meaning 3 total GS.

How does one get upgraded on a ua or aa flight from economy to Buissness?
I tried negotiating with gate agent but they kept saying I need to cancel my current booking and re-book a Buissness seat, there’s no “upgrading” options
I’m just trying to figure out what’s the whole deal with the people always waiting on the uPgrade list?

How do I know/search for refundable flights on Amex Travel? I don't see any options for it.

Is there any way to select any seat, including window seats on a AA reservation? I tried entering the confirmation code into a few partner airlines. So far, no go. I used this trick in the past with Air Berlin and Qatar. Was wondering if this works with AA, and if so, which partners?
