I can only answer a bit of this. Instead of SEA-JFK-LCY which, in this instance would net me 210+210 TP, I ended up flying SEA-JFK-LHR. I was initially credited with 210+140 but BA very quickly adjusted this to 210+210 when I asked. Thank goodness as I was after qualifying for GGL and would have ended the year on 4990TP which would have made me very, very sad.
I don't know what would have happened if I had allowed myself to be moved to the BA flight from SEA to LHR - which one person I spoke to thought would be so much better for me!
