Booked LAX-JFK-ROC for the weekend after Christmas. Paid $121+20k miles each for two pax. DL had been pricing the upsell to D1 between $550-625 per person, which was too rich for my blood.

I was poking around my itineraries before my flight on Saturday and noticed DL peddling an upgrade to an I fare for $324 per person. I bit.
Checked my credit card bill and noticed Delta processed the first upgrade at $324, and the second at $824 for a total of $1,148. A very nice agent and a supervisor agreed to refund the $500 difference. They said the actual price should have been $1,148, but honored the website amount of $648.
