Squeezing some Extra Miles
 
Is there any smart way I can 'upgrade' my fare from a M to B (on CO) or T to B (on UA) to get the 50% bonus without paying the 1000 dollars that is the difference between the two fares? I have a few upcoming CO and UA flights which will get me within a measly 300 miles of GES. One is a SEA-EWR CO flight on M basis tomorrow and a UA SEA-ORD (later next month) on a T. So I am hoping I can get those extra miles through the 50% bonus by somehow 'upgrading' one of those fares and avoid the inconvenience of a MR. Willing to pay say a couple hundred bucks. Suggestions?

I sincerely and wholeheartedly doubt it...without paying the MAJOR cash that is...

If you get lucky and there's IRROPs, thereby rebooking you into full Y, then yeah... otherwise, I'd have to say cough up the bucks either way.
