The gate agent asked me to move to a forward seat in Y in exchange for 6000 miles. I told him no and the only way I would move is for a WBC seat. He said he'll be back. Later, a female GA came and asked the same and I told her the same thing. She replied by saying she couldn't or otherwise she would have. Then a second later, the male GA returned by saying "alright get your belongings and go to WBC"
