You timestamp is the date you asked to apply the SWU.
To 'convert' to a free upgrade you need to re-ticket from A back to whatever inventory you first had, and THEN request an X upgrade. The new timestamp will be THAT date. Horrible chances of clearing, first asking for an upgrade 4-5 days before a xmas eve flight....
and if your original inventory is NOT available, they wont do it.
Stick with what you have,, IMO
