I'm aware that the current RPU policy states that if any domestic segment is upgraded, the RPU is considered used.

I'm also aware that the current GPU policy states that if the main int'l segment does not clear, you can request to have the GPU re-deposited.

What I'm curious about is if anyone has any actual experience using RPUs on flights to ANC (Anchorage, AK), and requesting a redeposit if it fails? Later this year, I have a ~7 hour red-eye flight ANC-IAH, and then a much shorter daytime hop IAH-CLE. I would of course love to u/g the red-eye from ANC, which is longer than many EWR->Europe flights! I couldn't really care less about the flight to CLE.

However, as it stands, it looks pretty good that IAH-CLE will clear, and that ANC-IAH will probably not.

Has anyone here successfully or unsuccessfully requested a redeposit in this scenario, in the past?
