It can be somewhat tricky to downgrade once an upgrade has cleared.
Just to chime in my experience here, when I hit premier earlier this year I had a flight about 2 weeks later, purchased when I had no status. Called in to get added to the UDU list. The ICC agent put me immediately into Upgrade: Waitlisted, instead of Upgrade: Pending. I realize now that he made a mistake, but at the time thought nothing of it. Anyway, NF space opened up about 10 days before the flight and I cleared for free. OP might be the beneficiary of the same mistake!
