I have a bunch of work I need to do and it will be a lot easier in F, so I took it. It also gives me the extra pqm to bump me to silver for the year in case I manage to get out of my remaining trips this year.
Of course, a few hours after I did the buy up to first, the test I was going out for got moved and now I'm flying sunday instead of thursday, which is better for me in general but adds some annoying logistics.
What happens with my buy-up? Can I get it refunded (or better, applied to a buy up for sunday's flight-- the TAs at work don't take care of that)? Do I have to call for the refund, or will it happen automatically (if at all)?
