Absolutely, and something I'd considered, though none of my work flights have ever landed on Y, B or H as yet.
For clarification, you only earn the Avios and TP on the paid-for part of the ticket, not the UuA class?
I'm currently considering blitzing a few CE flights to see the girlfriend over the next couple of months to see if I can jump into Silver, as the Avios boost you get there seems to be worth it alone!
