Advice on gaining QR silver/gold benefits with BA

Hi folks,

When looking to earn Q points on BA sold & operated flights is it best to book without being logged in to my BAC account and select QR as the FF airline member? Will BA immediately recognise my QR status and allow me to select seats for free after booking? I assume QR silver is the same as BA bronze and will allow free seat selection within 7 days of departure? Will my QR status also be reflected in my boarding group with BA?

Thanks.
