I did an upsell on 1 of my future tickets via delta.com and it did rebook me in G class which is supposed to get 50% extra MQM's...the medallion line said NO and I requested a refund and they said that will go through passenger refunds and take 7-10 days..what a mess.

My upsell was $320 for 4 legs and was almost 100 less than the P fare on that route...and a G fare isn't even offered on that route but the upsell put me in a G class

BTW once i did the upsell and the authorization went through on AMEX and I went to select the seats Delta.com wanted me to purchase the upsell again in other words I got a 2nd message to upgrade to first even though I had done it once already..what a mess...

We need some real clarification on this....

if it's in J,C,D,I,Z,F,P,A or G it WILL earn the bonus. These are first class fares. OP or RP will not. That's all there is to it. Many of the agents are confused since day of upgrades usually end up in the latter buckets but earlier FCM offers end up in the former.
