I was a little hesitant to try my upgrade because of receiving positive and negative reports from December 2016. I finally charged my upgrade, again E+ to FC, on February 5th. Today the charge posted, but I am not encouraged as you can see here:

If the document type read "miscellaneous taxes fees", then I could see getting a reimbursement. I've never known of one for passenger ticket.
Should I get a reimbursement, of course, I will post immediately; but I'm not getting my hopes up.
