Yep, I think that it makes a lot of sense, with the 200% PQM scheme.

The key to success is to get a knowledgeable 1K rep when you call in since that rep will need to know how to waive the $200 change fees during the rebooking to paid F or C. Otherwise, the rebooking fee negates all the positives.

This means that you will need to call the 1K within hours of the Y ticket being issued in order for them to waive the change fees as a 'courtesy' to a 1K.
