I've got a few questions. I booked S Class seats online , but received Y Class seats at check in.
1) Is that considered an upgrade? If not, what is it called?
2) Do I receive 150% EQMs for all Y Class BIS miles flown?
3) Do 2Ps automatically receive Y Class when booking other Economy fares?
I've got more questions. But I took the Red Eye from LAX-LAS-IAD leaving last night and arriving this morning. I'm beat and can't remember my other questions.
1) S Class *is* Y class. S is a discounted Economy ticket.

If you're speaking about Economy Plus seats towards the front of the cabin, those are available free of charge to 2P's and higher, as a reward for your loyalty.
2) If on your boarding card in the lower left hand corner says "BOOKING CODE Y" then you receive the bonus. Your boarding passes, on closer inspection, most likely said "BOOKING CODE S". This is what determines the bonus.
If you were rebooked due to irregular operations or such, the new booking code may likely be Y and there have been some reports that bonuses have been accrued under this scenario. However, YMMV.
Happy Travels!
