^ Yes.
There is a subtle distinction between a 'plain old' double upgrade and a double
operational upgrade.
For the former, you have actually spent something to get part of the upgrade (voucher, miles, etc.) even though the other half might have been at no cost.
For the latter, it is completely free of charge, and thus that much better!
