Upcoming flight booked in economy for ~$1700 one way. A few days out the Premium Plus fare dropped to ~$1300, so I changed the ticket to get into the premium economy cabin. Because I was only changing cabin (not flights) I did not get a refund or FFC for the fare difference (which I'm OK with). But now the projected PQD earnings are clearly based on the new fare ($1300), not what I actually paid for the ticket ($1700).
What do folks think:
- Guesses on what will actually post after the flight? (I'd assume ~1300?)
- Assuming the lower amount posts, do I have a case to argue for PQD earnings on the full amount paid? Or did I give that up by making the voluntary change?
-
Was this an agency purchase, as both issues are standard for that.
Or did you do this with an UA agent vs cancel, get FFC and rebook?

Generally yes, if off, the estimate may be low. But on an UA ticket it is easy to do your own "estimate". Look at the price details and look at Airfare and if international, International surcharge
