Upgrade to J after a POUG - Selling Class (U) - How many TP?
Hi folks,
So last week I got a POUG offer for my MAD-LHR flight showing in the "Manage My Booking" section on the BA website. I was keen to take it as I need the TPs to get to Gold this year.
When trying to upgrade through the website I got an error and a message advising me to call BA, so I did.
The guy on the line was helpful and managed to upgrade my MAD-LHR flight from ET to CE, after giving him my credit card details. I got the Myflights notification so everything seemed fine. However, I havenīt been charged yet, or at least the charge hasnīt arrived to my BA Amex (this was 2 days ago).
When I go to Manage My Bookings in BA, I can see I am in CE now, but selling class is showing U, which I thought was reserved for Avios Redemptions. Also, Class U doesn'tīt appear in the BA Calculator so as per the golden rule I have to assume that it earns nothing. However, in Manager My Booking it says I would earn 45 TP for the trip (5 for the ET outbound sector and 40 for the CE inbound sector).
Any advice?
Thanks in advance.

U is the class for Club awards, but is also used for things like POUGs. If your original flight was booked as a cash ticket, you will get Avios/TPs for the upgraded cabin.

Hi folks,
I have a question similar to this. I made a reward flight booking with gold upgrade voucher for Club World earlier today. Upon checking the booking under MMB, I found the selling class is U. I also found there would be avios and tier points to be credited. I am very confused as they suppose to be 0 based on my past experiences for BA reward bookings. Will I receive these avios and tier point for this booking, or BA will reset them to 0 once the journey is completed? Thanks.
