Yeah, that is not the most intuitive. Hopefully it gets rolled into the Redeem Upgrade page.
I keep ending up with two seats when I buy in M/B/Y and apply a GPU. I end up with a seat in PN and R because of the Instant Upgrade :-) Gate fixes this, but if you care about which seat you want, it is best to call in ahead to correct this.
