I've done this many times and this was confirmed on my screen. ANC-ORD showed upgrade requested. ORD-EWR showed CPU eligible.

So ANC-ORD upgrade did not clear. ORD-EWR did clear. Now they are refusing to redeposit my GPU as they are saying I used it on the ORD-EWR segment. Further, I was instructed that it is not possible to apply a GPU (or RPU) to only one segment of a trip...but I've done this many times.

Any advice?
Did you use it? I understand that you told them not to apply it to that segment. But if you boarded the plane and took the upgrade, you used it. Under the circumstances I think you should have informed the GA as soon as you saw the upgrade on your boarding pass. Otherwise, you accepted the upgrade and consumed it.
