I think it turned out to be the discount business, which also counts for 200%. Or did you see it in some report as Y class?

Either way this is a known bug in check-in upgrade feature, where it shouldn't change the mileage earning, but actually very often does. If it works in the background by changing the ticket to a flexible one presumably in the highest class available... which on the day of travel, sure it would likely be Y/B/M...
Hmm.

Of course the big question now is how will it work with XP. If it would still give out business class XP for an upgrade, that would be a hell of an advantage, effectively 2 sectors worth extra for some 50-100 EUR...
