say Co refunded you the extra $$ you paid and threw in a $200 voucher or a cert for a positive Upgrade the next time you flew. In that case Id say you received a Refund and also received Compensation. Since I guess you could have claimed the reason you switched flights was in order to get the UP. Although in fact you purchased a Coach seat and thats what you ended with and CO could have said maybe a refund if you had paid the extra for a FC seat and didnt get it
