Also, I guess you don't get any bonus status miles either. Is that correct?
Others with experience in this might confirm or deny this but if it were me I'd give it a try. Just flash your BP like a business passenger who flys paid executive all the time and has divine right to be in there (having first removed the cert from the back of the BP if it's there)
You won't get any extra miles from the upgrade, status or otherwise.
