I flew ORD-FRA in business class using a GPU (ticket booked in W) earlier this week and the miles posted to my account yesterday, 100% PQMs and 200% RDMs.
There have been reports all over FT of these upgraded fares posting incorrectly. Don't be surprised if it posts as Z and gives you extra PQM's and then don't be surprised again if they do a sweep and reduce your mileage balance. We will have to see how all of this shakes out.
