They rebook us into "Y" sometimes (not always) because that is the only class of service available. All other classes are sold out. If you originally bought a "T" class and they are rebooking you on a flight with "T" available thats where they will put you. If you get "Y" you get lucky and often but not always got the upgrade and the 50% bonus. Sounds like they may have figured out a way to hold the bonus.

I had IRROPS on a recent TALT and got 5k miles added to my account.
