I don't think that there is a particular thread for this option (I see for PE upgrades, not for biz), so I thought that it might belong here.

Question: Would your fare basis remain the same if you "bid" for the upgrade (which is equivalent to using miles @USD 0.015/mile) or would you move into a revenue biz fare? I gather we would not.

This upgrading semi-fiasco almost warrants one buying the P-fare for almost the same amount of equivalent value - which was available a week ago, but I had some upgrade instruments available...

Plusgrade is for PE and C nowadays. The booking class changes to P/Z when you win the bid, but fare basis stays the same. So you earn more miles, but stay in the same restrictive fare corridor.
