OK. I guess I see these as being two different things. I was looking at this as an upgrade to a higher fare type ticket. And you are looking at it as a rebooking situation which then refers to the refund rules which let you apply the nonrefundable amount to a new explorer ticket.
As for the rest of my confusion, looking back on the previous posts I'm not sure I understand myself what it was.

The upside is that we now all agree the OP is good to go with the conversion, despite the detours we took to get to that point.

So the OP would make a change from DCIR26 to DONE4 and only pay the difference in the 2 fares. Correct? I'm confused about the expression 'non-refundable' in the rules. Does that mean the OP takes a 10% loss since a US-based ticket incurs those cancellation fees plus pay the difference?

I speak from experience here
A Cir Pac CAN BE CONVERTED to DONE3 or above, and can even be converted back down to a Cir Pac
Have done this before, and when their is an upsell there was no penalty, but if moving down from a DONE4 (which almost all RTW fares will be more than Cir Pac's) to a DCIR22 or DCIR26 the cancellation fee of 10% was applied
All RTW's are refundable less a penalty prior to departure, despite what the endorsement says
The next post I add on this subject of RTW's will blow you away
Stay tuned
