For an upcoming flight SFO-SIN in May, the paid upgrade to Polaris was not available. I did use the money/miles option to waitlist. However, checking today on availability, the cash upgrade is now showing $2200. If I buy that, will I get the mileage/money credited back when I make the purchase?
For the return flight, the cash upgrade cost is a whopping $16,000. Yikes. I guess I will just stay on the waitlist for that segment.
