EB Earning on Plusgrade upgrades of other *A partners
Are there any *A partners, whom, like SK, grant upgraded class earnings, instead of original earnings, to EB members? This would be useful to know, when prioritizing upgrades in the *A network.

When upgrading using Upgrade for Sure on Air India, the ticket is rebooked in Z class (for economy to business upgrades). This earns 200% miles on SK, and can be really good value in some cases.

Quite many are. This is why I am asking. I remember that AB also used PG, but there the earnings have not changed after the upgrade, AFAIR. So I don't think this is linked to using PG. It is probably a decision by the airline how the upgrade is implemented. I have some LH, LO, and SN flights soon, and would like to know whether there is any earning benefit for bidding. My requalification is almost there, and I rather bid for an upgrade than do a MR. I hate MRs.

yes Lufthansa does and like the good germans we are there is even a system behind it. 
basically it is things like if you book PE in G and E you upgrade to Z and have same earnings etc.
However what I dont know is if that is an 'internal' information or if this would run through to the secondary system, in this case Eurobonus.
I think yes, because when I used it in the past, my miles credit on miles and more was just listed as the new class.
So would love to hear from others too.
