Earn Miles on upgrade fare
Recently I was on lufthansa flight from del-fra, fra-sea. I was able to upgrade my permium economy seat to business using aeroplan (tried using 30k Aegean miles and bonus miles that I had and it wouldn't even show me availability on Aegean website).
Anyway , will Aeroplan let me upgrade both flights. My question is, will I still earn points as my purchased fare class?
(Tried searching but couldn't find definite answer)

Oh here's a good one.
My friend was booked in D class on LH, and used Aeroplan to SAUA to F (O). He did not have his Aeroplan number anywhere on the booking, and definitely not on the BPs (his status did not show up).
The LH legs credited to Aeroplan. The United legs did not. He did not want the LH legs to credit to Aeroplan. He hasn't called to deal with it yet, but I'm expecting a fight.
So I'm wondering if they've tried to fix the crediting issue somehow, in an annoying manner.

Never had problems with points posting in the original booked class in the past with SAUA. Have some ANA flights upgraded to F coming up... will see what happens. Just as an aside, my SQ flights posted before AC!
