That is a ticket change and requires you talk to an agent or use online change flight. As you have changed the fare, on a change you with retain the upfare value.
Interfering. I took a cash upgrade from a Q fare to Prem Plus (my rez now showing “Fare Type: United Premium Plus (A)”) thinking that I could jump higher on the Polaris MUA list this way in the event I don’t snag a reasonably priced upgrade, worst case falling back to my PP seat.

Sounds like that’s not how it works?
