Paid J - Can I upgrade with AVIOS and credit to a partner FFP
I'm on a paid Club World ticket and want to credit the trip to a oneworld partner program. If I transfer CC points into my Avios account to upgrade, can I still accrue the mileage for the paid portion of the ticket to the partner or do I have to switch it to Avios?

Yes you can, but be careful. When you upgrade it will go into a reward bucket fare class that the partner airline system may recognize as a reward ticket and thus not accrue any mileage at all. It could be complex to get them to credit it properly. Not impossible, just complex. Others I'm sure can advise better

Yes you can.
Add your OW Card to the Booking First.
Then select Upgrade using Avios and log in to your Exec Account.
And when you check-in at the Airport, ask the Check-in Staff to ensure that your OW Card is set for Accrual.
