I'd be interested to hear (PM or otherwise) your final outcome
With respect, IIRC, you accepted their first offer. That puts BA in a staggeringly better negotiating position - had you rejected the first offer, and taken it up with CS later on, you would likely have ended up with a much better outcome.

Accepting the offer, then changing your mind, puts you in a weak position, and the negotiator on the other side will have used that to their advantage.

OP is in a better situation (relatively), and so should be able to push them for appropriate compensation.
