Earning AA miles on BA with POUG, AUP & other upgrade (consolidated)
Hello, AA Peeps.

New to OW, and had my first MR last week to JNB for the PLT challenge.

I have a flight booked in Y through BA.com on BA metal.

It's LHR-ARN-LHR and I have been offered a paid upgrade to Club Europe on BA.com.

When these upgrades are taken the ticket is reissued and the flyer earns the mileage and BA Tier Points associated with the upgraded cabin--IF crediting to BA.

Since I am crediting to AA I am wondering if anyone has ever done this upgrade and received the AAdvantage miles associated with the upgraded cabin, which is the equivalent of Domestic FC on AA.

I will only receive 25% of the miles flown on my discounted Y fare if I don't take this upgrade. I couldn't get an affirmative answer in the BA forum.

Thanks!!!!
