Using Propeller Travel to upgrade an existing booking
I promise that I have searched through the relevant threads first, but I would like to ask the Forum if any of you have ever asked Propeller Travel (PT) to use a GUF1 to upgrade an existing booking that you’ve already made with BA via the Web? I have an existing work booking that I would like to upgrade.
I’ve used PT to book two GUF2 upgrades recently and have been very pleased so would like to use them again. I could just ask them, but thought that a thread that could be found by others might be useful.

I have used Propeller Travel. They have been really helpful in locating fares and advising on options including on using GUF vouchers. I recommend them from my personal experience.

Thanks nufnuf77, I couldn’t find anywhere that told me that.
Dealing with PT is a wee bit quirky as they work US hours and really expect you to have planned out your trip first. I’ve only ever used Travel Agents when I’ve needed advice for difficult travel so wasn’t quite expecting them to be a bit hands off, but having now used my two GUF2s with them, I get the benefit.

I remember a post a few years back at how they'd been targeted by an unscrupulous airline for assisting people with ex-eu tickets.
If my memory serves me correctly ... It seemed the company had been fairly negatively affected with it being suggested they should pay the difference in costs as people had been skipping the last leg of itineraries..

No need to be coy. The 'unscrupulous' company as you put it was BA and was simply following through with its agreement with the agency.
They were not targeted for 'assisting people with ex-eu tickets' but when rather a lot of customers of said agency drop the last legs of ex-EU tickets BA was going to take notice-
