After several calls over a week to the Mumbai call center, I was just told that it would be impossible to get a seat in Premium Economy for my itinerary again. Was told I would be refunded the fare difference. When I inquired as to other compensation, I was told they do not offer any other compensation for this situation. (I'm in the US if it makes a difference).

So it seems like they are free to pull the old bait-and-switch with this product.
