Virgin Australia UpgradeMe pricing and success

[SeaWolf]

Just got a success email for VA569 SYD-PER tonight. Bid was just $140 (this flight is usually fairly lightly loaded), so for a five hour flight I'm pretty happy with that.

I have a couple of Economy X vouchers I was hoping to redeem, however I also have an UpgradeMe bid submitted for the same reservation. I was told on the phone that if the Economy X voucher is redeemed, and then the UpgradeMe bid is accepted, then the Economy X voucher is forfeited. Seems counter intuitive given that Economy X cash fees are refunded in the same scenario. Anyone have any experience with this, and if this is correct? Thanks in advance!
