YBM fares for 1K members

So i am aware that the instant upgrade went away but had not realized that the upgrade would be to the PZ bucket.

I had a reservation booked in April (2025) for a November (2025) flight. It is an international flight so domestic leg in B and international leg in R. I applied PlusPoints but only applied them to the international leg.

The upgrade for the domestic leg came through but it mapped to PZ and they took 30 PlusPoints. Separately I have 10 PlusPoints expiring 1/2026 so kind of a wash if the international upgrade does not happen as will really only cost me 10 PlusPoints. And perhaps I did request the PlusPoints but as it was a B fare I am always careful not to do this.

My question is do domestic YBM fares now map to PZ and not PN for 1K?
