I don't know, but there was one occasion when I said no to moving from 64K to an UD aisle. For whatever reason, the cabin crew member came again; this time the offer was a UD aisle plus a full-size bottle of champagne. That was fine with me.
But I agree that if you've said no and you've been allowed to keep your seat, there's no point wondering any more about it!
