From BE FAQs: "...Award travel, agency or industry discounted tickets, and tickets that have already been discounted due to an offer or program not offered by the Business Extra program, are not eligible and will not be included in the point calculation..."
Check the fare bucket for the flight in question; some have reported in the FT TY forum that the travel portal can book you in ineligible classes - has not yet occurred to me.
