The awards when upgrading, with GUF2/1 or avios, are supposed to be calculated on the basis of the cash fare paid and not the cabin you travel in. That would therefore be the basis for calculating the double tier point rewards. Sometimes people say they get the upgraded awards but that is a system error.
