Now I'm not sure they told me the right information, but I dont see why they would tell me something wrong.

So in the end, I purchased an upgradable economy ticket (H) and used 60,000 miles to upgrade (round trip--30,000 each way), which is what I usually do.
There must not be "saver" award availability, so they quoted you "standard" award prices.
