As a Silver OnePass member, if I use miles to upgrade a one way trip from AUS through IAH to a cross continent destination then I'm spending 15k miles (7,500 per leg). If the upgrade for the cross continent leg doesn't go through then I'm still out 7,500 miles for the flight from AUS to IAH. Today I can call up and cancel the upgrade and get all of my miles back (no reason to waste 7,500 miles for a 30 minute flight), but after 6/15/11 I get charged a fee?

Am I interpreting the redeposit fee properly?

Thanks
