Does that makes sense? Another poster seemed to imply that was possible.

You can do this all at once, rather than purchasing the ticket and then going back and buying the Premium seat. When you’re initially buying the ticket, select a Premium Class (PC) seat. When you go to checkout and pay, if you’re signed in and have Wallet funds available, select Wallet funds as the payment method. You’ll then be told that you have to use a credit card to purchase the seat upgrade. Use your Amex Plat card just for the seat fee. When you cancel the ticket (after the 24 hour free cancellation period), you can refund back to your wallet or get an email certificate. I think you can actually get a refund to any AS account that you can login to.
