The GUF1 upgrade price W-J was something like £650 in additional taxes/charges plus the GUF1 itself. The upgrade price in MMB I was offered and took up was less than that, without using the GUF1......
Sounds like you got a good deal then. Using the GUF from WT+ to CW is not always a good idea as the YQ component increases dramatically for CW. More of the ticket price is "hidden" as a fee, which will also get charged on a redemption. Using a GUF to upgrade from CW to F is better value as all taxes, fees and charges for CW and F are the same. (Except ex-USA where F is more)
