You're entitled to $200 per passenger plus fare difference calculated based on fare the date you purchased, not flew. Fare difference may be really small if it was a short segment that was downgraded. They calculate the fare difference and then use the percent of total miles flown that were downgraded. Ie fare difference is $1000, but downgraded flight was 100 miles out of 1000 flown. You'd get $100 of the fare difference.
