Maybe they'll still upgrade you but forget to deduct the CR1 or SWU, in which case you'll wind up ahead
. It just happened to me, except that the SWUs just appear to have been put back after having been initially deducted before the trip. There is not even a record of their having be deducted. They just disappeared and then reappeared, although the entire multi-segment trip was upgraded, which gave me 2 extra SWUs for the year.
