tedhl: I would check with BA again. Although BA is very stingy in giving miles and tierpoints for discounted economy tickets I do believe that they will award them for all business and first class fares. I'm a Global EC member and in my latest newsletter it shows that the following booking classes on Finnair will accrue tierpoints and miles: C,J,D,I,Y,B (tierpoints and miles) and H,K,M (miles only). Maybe another call to BA will solve you problem.
