However, if you book via a TA, and use your GUF there, you'll actually get credit for the class you fly instead?

I may be assuming this because of mis-posted TP's last time I used A GUF via TA.

Can't seem to find this answer which is odd because I'm sure it's been discussed. Apologies for repetition.
Yes, book a Club World with BA and you'll get premium economy TPs and Avios

Book a club world with a TA and get club world TPs and avios AND you don't have to worry about availability - you only pay the TA once it is ticketed
