Edit: The FAQ has complete details.
I have a question: I recently bought a cheap "S" fare for SEA-DEL, and got offered an upgrade for 40K miles + co-pay immediately after buying my ticket, which I did for one leg...is this normally the case (it's the first time I was offered this (and immediately processed) so soon after purchase)?
