UFC with miles+copay upgrade waitlisted - refund of copay?

XXX-LAX-NRT L fare
1K
Requested $600 + 30000 miles upgrade award at ticketing
($600 collected via CC at time of request and posted on CC statement)

XXX-LAX confirmed to R (domestic first)
LAX-NRT waitlisted (still in E+)

F1/J3 at check in time
At check in, offered BusinessFirst on LAX-NRT for $819...

If I take this offer, I assume I will be able to get my $600 back?

I view this offer as $219 additional to get my miles back and not waitlist on a low fare with just a few seats left....

Thoughts?

Yes, you get back your miles+copay, but it may not be instant & may require a refund request.

And from experience, expect to push them for over a month to get it.

Update : miles and 600 co-pay refunded within 3 days. This seemed to work 100% as expected...

Did you have to request the miles and co-pay back or did they automatically process it?

Refund of Miles + Copay ?

I made a change to my return flight on an international flight to a later date which had been upgraded with $$$ and 30K. I used a GPU on the new return date.

The 30K came back to my MP account but should UA refund me the $550 pp as well? Or is that a non-refundable fee?

It was automatic. I was pleased that it was just handled correctly without me needing to do a thing.
