Will this change mean that I, in practice, will get 1,5 EQP for a ticket that was originally in N class and has now been upgraded to R? Well, remains to be seen, I had such a flight last Sunday.
Yeah, it used to be a "chase your points" proposition. However I had a flight upgraded with points two weeks ago and I was already dreading the chase but lo and behold it posted within 7 days as Y 100% earning

The upgrade went to booking class F.
