The automatic posting of upgraded flight segments is still hit&miss for me. About a quarter of them do not seem to post automatically. The others post after a few days.
The ones that don't post often require an email or call to M+B as the retro-claim tool does not work well on these.

Yes, pretty much every time. The web support team only allows retro-claiming after 14 days, so I have waited at least that long every time.

Keep your receipt! Usually my miles post after about a week from the duty free shop. Once they didn't and A3 said there is nothing they can do - you need to send a copy of the receipt for a "retroclaim"

I've never bought anything at the Hellas Duty Free, other than Athens either.
And, of course, if your M&B number is in the booking, just showing your boarding pass is enough - you don't have to show the card. That's how I first found out about points from the shops - I had no idea until some suddenly arrived in my account.
