AY Bid to Upgrade TPs

I'm visiting Russia next month (Chilean passport makes it a lot easier), outbound on a redemption so I get to try the ex-BMI A321, and snagged a bargain inbound flight of LED-HEL-JFK-LHR (with a few days stop at each) on a combination of AY and AA metal for £260 in Y. There's an option to bid for an upgrade to J on the eight-hour HEL-JFK leg, starting at €480.

Is the wisdom of this forum that (provided the bid is successful), that's a good deal, and would I accrue the J TPs and Avios for the upgraded sector? Thanks!

Special offer upgrades at the airport won't get J TPs and Avios, so it might be you won't with these either...others may know better than me...

AY's POUG does not get additional credit (see TP Run thread post 5) and I suspect the bid system would be the same.
