Meanwhile, what about people who preorder and then have upgrades clear right before or even after the start of boarding?
Kind of wondering when the actual charge is processed. If at the time of ordering, could be a messy refund process if misconnecting, upgraded, etc.
Would be better if the charge goes thru when the item is delivered.

Anyone hear anything about the actual process for this?
