If the promotion says "new bookings only", then there may be a problem getting the refund or upgrade. Sometimes Princess will acquiesce, sometimes not. Right now, my price is at about what Princess dropped it to one week after final payment, so I am fine with that. This way, I get the same price and my agent still gets her commission. Remember, TAs normally give you a lower price in the first place. We are paying about $1000 base for our AA minisuite. Princess originally had it for $1099. It recently dropped to $999 through Princess with a "new booking only" promo. Since I know this is within the final payment and my agent is under no obligation to give me more of her commission back, I am not even going to bother asking since I called Princess and they said it was a "new bookings only" promo and wouldn't apply. On fares this low, they get little enough commission as it is. I'm not going to quibble for less the $100. Sometimes, I think TAs will give up their commissions if Princess doesn't lower from their end and their clients are pushing for it.
