out of interest, does the POUG then book into a reward CE fare bucket as if it had been a CE outright redemption?
I'm afraid that if the base fare is non-TP/Avios earning then the ticket, no matter what is done with it, will continue to be that way. In the off chance you might get extraordinarily lucky and the TPs/Avios will post but that is not policy. In essence a RFS combined with a POUG will give you the opportunity to enjoy the CE service but receive no FF benefits with the ticket (as one would expect).
