AMS - KUL €499 or 71.500 FB Miles per seat.
Did the miles option for me and my girl.
A nice and early Christmas surprise.
Tickets originally booked in L. Tried upgrading by phone a few times ahead, No success.

No you’ll receive the number from the original booking class, though a system glitch might occur...

My last two paid upgrades to business class at OLCI (AMS - LIM and BKK - AMS) I received the business class miles.
