Can this ticket still be upgraded to a ticket that will retain some value?
Welcome to the real world and the reason so many of us are beside ourselves on this policy change/shaft. You can try the "Agent discretion" and because they probably do not want to upset the ranks anymore at this point I would guess they will grant you your "one time ever...noted in your record" waiver. Worth a shot.
