Shocking! A TV that was not working. This happens way too often.
On my flight back from Vegas (I took B6), (the FA) instead of telling the guy in front of me with the broken TV to go to the website and contact "Speak Up" as they have always done in the past, she had a preprinted card for him for his $15 credit.

An interesting twist on the EML on-board charge that I was made aware of in my AYCJ adventures this weekend...
If you're flying on a long-haul ($40 EML) route and want the EML but don't want to pay $40 for it there is a way to get it for only $25, assuming the seats are still available at the time of departure. The CC POS machines that they swipe your card on have a max of $25 that they can process. @:-)
I actually thought the guy next to me on my first flight yesterday was going to hit that limit when he asked the FA to run him a tab, starting with headphones and moving on to several drinks for he and his wife.

Consider it a free upgrade which happens... airlines, hotels, cruise ships, etc... The point is sometime you'll get a free upgrade but that does not mean you should expect it every time. In the end, EML is a product that offers extra legroom... the only way to guarantee to sit there is to pay for it.

Since I'm pretty clearly in the minority of posters here I'll consider my question answered. Thanks, everyone.
For the record, here's what would have made this an experience much more typical of the excellent history I've had with JB. A small sign/label/etching on the seatback in front of each EML seat that says:
A sign like that not only reinforces the desired "elite" status of the seat, but makes any subsequent conversation an easy one. Point to the sign, ask for the credit card.
