What a lousy way to lose your miles value.

Have you gone to Manage My Booking and actually processed the upgrade though? On the mileage calculator, it showed that the cost was actually the higher cost, but when I went to MMB, the actual mileage cost on confirmation screen was the old, lower amount.
However - when I went to the upgrade page, I was in fact shown the old style screen (but MMB was the new format).
