So, so many questions.

1) I had already paid extra for a preferred seat assignment just in case the bid didn't go through. Does that get refunded or do I forfeit? I think it was ~$35.
2) Do I get to choose my own seat?
3) Do I get to use a lounge at SFO?
4) Do I get free checked bags or is the baggage policy based on my original ticket?

Sorry, I know I'm clearly a newbie to both business travel, loyalty points etc.
1) Should be automatically refunded.
2) Yes
3) I’m not familiar with SFO, but if there’s a lounge accessible to AC business class passengers, then yes,.
4) Should be free checked bags per business class rules.
