500 × 1.75 (75% COS, EQM/RDM) + 500 × 1.25 (Elite Bonus RDM) = 1500 RDM
I had an IRROPS once on a U Fare, the agent just moved me into F on the other flight and I got the 75% COS

When you were upgraded, what was the fare class showing on your itinerary for that segment? If it was U then your calculations are correct. If by chance they moved you to F or P class then the calculation would be.
500 × 1.75 (75% COS, EQM/RDM) + 500 × 1.25 (Elite Bonus RDM) = 1500 RDM

Thanks James and VegasGambler. The new boarding pass I was given at the gate post-upgrade shows "F" after the flight number, which corroborates your calculation and explains my earning 1,500 miles. I thought that if upgraded, you would earn miles based on the originally-booked class of service. No complains though...

If by "AL", you mean the Alaska Lounge, I usually hang out at the Skyclub instead. I find the AS lounges very blah
Too bad one will have to be flying exclusively on Delta in 2019 to access the Skyclubs.I didn't realize I got upgraded until my boarding pass beeped when scanned at the gate and I was handed a new one. Good to know for next time though.

We just returned from trip. Purchased Full Y (due to loss of 60 day) with Companion Certificate. Upgraded to F 3 months before flight. So, U fare showing on BP.
Original fare was Y and miles just posted. We both received only "regular" miles as EQM on this trip.
My understanding is that it should be 50% EQM . Am I missing something here?

Just got off the phone with AS cust. service. Because our Y fare /companion cert was upgraded (U) my bonus EQM did not post to my account.
They quickly removed old posting and reposted flight credits to show Y Fare Bonus. Yea!!!- more than halfway to MVP, maybe we will go for Gold this year!!

Sorry, it made me chuckle when I saw that original post above and was pretty much the same thing.
