So I think this technically should not have been reimbursed, but apparently it was. My dilemma is that I have three seats to upgrade which will go over $100 so I doubt they will reimburse it on my platinum card. I assume all three will be billed together as $120 and not $40 x 3?
Even more space seats are not exactly considered "upgrades" - it's not a business or first class seat, it just has more legroom like Economy Plus on other airlines. I definitely automatically got reimbursed for paying for these seats in the past just like I got reimbursed automatically for paying for Economy Plus on United or other airlines. Read through this thread and you will see data points of people getting automatic reimbursement for EMS seats, I'm unsure why my purchase didn't trigger it though.
My seats didn't get billed together, I paid for 3 and they were charged individually.
