Worth noting, thanks folks.
I think AP probably could force this through, but that's only based on the way she said it. It really seemed like they just didn't want to, because I got a good deal. Whatever, in the end I still win in this situation and I've spent longer than 4:45 in Y before. First time ever I paid for Y+ though, $49 USD and it means I can be one of the first through customs. Exchange rate sucks but I'll see if the seat is worth it, I've never even thought about paying for one before at the prices they ask.

It's just hard to believe something like this can even happen

But a lot of those flights were full, so if the agent knows someone is going to get it free, why not give it to *G?
AC should do the same if the flight is full.

E+ or Y+ same thing. I'm trying it out because I've never bothered to pay to sit up there. They advertise extra legroom and pitch so I don't consider it a fully separate product, but yea, there's something to try.
