But with those upgrades you don't get the additional TPs and Avios. I've had a beep at the gate quite a few times (oh how I pine for the beep).
This was a bit different though. This appeared as a box-out on my booking management:
You Have Been Upgraded To World Traveller Plus
As a special bonus we'd like you to enjoy the comfort, extra space and service of premium economy when you fly with us to CITY on DATE on BAXXX. Enjoy your flight.
It means BA actively changed my booking prior to check-in even being possible. Bonus indeed! ^
