I'm curious if anyone has experience with how mileage from upgraded flights via OneUp is posted.

Specific case: Using my UA MP number, booked IAH-AKL in Premium Economy (fare class A) on ANZ website. Purchased and confirmed a OneUp upgrade to Business which now shows as fare class R. This particular fare class shows no mileage earning per UA site but I have to imagine this is not truly the case.

My hope is mileage will post according to the original fare class (A).

Thanks!
That is how it should work but there have been reports of other carriers not providing credit if upgraded into R or I fare class. It has taken some persistence for folks to get the operating carrier to acknowledge to UA the paid fare class.
