My problem is not that service reps do not know everything but rather that they - on two different occasion - are actively providing wrong information when being asked. There are surely a big number of cases like this and I still find it quite scandalous that the service reps do give false information when being asked exactly that question.
The BA website for booking class C has the footnote: "1 This class may award at the rate of 100% of the flown miles when used for upgrade purposes." Implying that you earn as per the underlying economy base fare of 100% miles. Granted that isn't totally clear as to TP earning.
Unless they re-issue your ticket, you are still booked in your original fare code but travel in class C.
