Don't worry, you can now get your 10k miles back even if you issue the departure segment later.

However, now CX told me I must pay 20k miles for the return segment. When my departure segment is confirmed later, I need to pay another 20k, instead of waiting for everything to be cleared then pay the 30k round trip upgrade total.

I was shocked, and told them I will not do this. They gave me until 8/8 to confirm, or they will cancel even my confirmed return upgrade....!!

They told me they put me on the "highest priority." Are they lying to me? Is there such thing as "highest priority?" I am just a lowly silver.
