Business Class Miles for Upgrade?
I have just noticed that on my flight itinerary from Emirates they have quoted me business class skyward miles for my upgraded economy flight. Do they always do this? I don't presume I actually get J class miles for an upgraded economy flight do I?

As I said in the other thread, it will show as a J booking on-line, but is not handled as such.

I have upgraded two times with skywards miles from economy to business, and got both times the 25% business class skywards miles for this flights.
My wife was able to get silver, because this 25% put her over the 25 000 required miles.

I never thought that we will get more than Y class miles, but:
Both we got 25% more mileage for the upgraded portion of our round trip.
The total mileage in econonmy for this round trip was around 23 500 miles. Because of the bonus of 25% from AKL to DXB we got over 25 000 miles, which brought my wife from a regular blue member to silver.
May be this was too good to be true and they changed the rules?
