Hi everyone. Is this right? I had a PY ticket and used miles and a copay and got the upgrade for the DFW-HKG leg.
LGA-DFW were comped as I am plt pro.
I have checked your account, and it was credited correctly for your
upgraded travel. You receive AAdvantageŽ️ mileage credit for the class of
service on which your fare is based rather than the cabin in which you
are seated. The booking code for your ticket reflects a Premium Economy
Class fare, so you earn miles at the standard rate. Bonus miles for
First and Business Class are only earned when members purchase premium
fares; not when they utilize an upgrade award. I'm sorry to disappoint
you.

I think it's interesting that Delta seems to have copied AA on this front; usually it's AA copying everyone else...
