Is UAInsider's info in Post #2 still the policy or do I need to proactively cancel that request so not to get hit for 15K miles to UG such a short segment?
Apologies if this has been recently covered elsewhere, but this was the most onpoint post addressing the BF upgrades in the FAQ.
If the BF segment doesn't clear, you are entitled to a full refund of miles and money (even if the domestic segment cleared). You still get the upgrade foryour domestic segment (think of it as a freebie).
