is this possible?

Hmmm ... as far as I've read, the cash for miles scheme is only for redemption, not upgrades.

Upgrading a redemption ticket is not possible, neither with miles nor cash. A cash upgrade is only possible on a revenue ticket. You could of course cancel the Y saver and redeem a J saver at a later date.

It's not possible to calculate a fare difference between X and I classes.

FWIW, that person booked his redemption using VS miles. Perhaps he bought a 1-way in the end or perhaps SQ LAX made some quick money out of it...

J upgrade from Y saver = 100% x full fare of a J ticket?
