I'm guessing 750mil meant 750,000 pesos. 'mil' is Spanish for 1000. About US$250

2-2 means he/she has bid for two flight upgrades and won the auction twice with a bid of US$250.

Note it was 750 mil for LAX-BOG - pricing might be different to Europe

Awesome that you're 2-2! How long after you bid were you informed of the upgrade?
