I did end up earning extra as Delta credited as I for MEX-JFK. I'll report back if the same happens on my other two upgrades as those just happened over the past weekend.
Thanks for posting your experience, but what I'm focusing in this thread is AM's product called 'Upgrade', it's a bidding process Y pax can bid for upgrades on their web site. I think Optiontown is famous for this business model. I know AM should've come up with more creative name, hence the capital U with upgrade in this thread.
I wonder how AM gives upgrading priority. Were those flights full in J? If I was running AM, I'd be more tempted to grant upgrades to pax who bid over $300 per segment than to some high rank ST members.
