I am assuming that you would still be able to do the deal after cancellation, and you should make sure that if you do call in for the upgrade that they do not take away your on-line reservation status. BTW, you may have to pay a booking fee for using the phone (but I suspect that you already did )

second, even if you were able to cancel. the upgrade seats would go back into the pool and someone else in that time could grab them.

third, if you are granted a upgrade and then cancel the ticket you loose the upgrade fee (the fee is nonrefundable).
