Thanks
  1. No, you won't get the PC fee back
  2. A quick google search gets these links
    https://www.alaskaair.com/atmosrewar...pgrades/alaska
    https://www.alaskaair.com/content/tr...perience/saver
    with the pertinent statement being:
    Status holders with Saver fares are eligible for complimentary upgrades to Premium Class seating or First Class within 2 hours prior to departure only, if available.
