SC Earn with upgrading

[CPMaverick]

Hello all-

I suspect I know the answer but wanted to check here. What is the SC earn for upgrades (either with points, certs, or UpgradeMe)? Same as the booking fare or equivalent to the cabin of travel?

Cheers

You will earn based on original fare booked.

If you do a upgrade me bid from a discount economy fare you will earn the SC as a full fare economy fare

a points UG will earn at the original fare family

Good to know, thank you. I upgraded a flexi fare with points and got business class SC, which is why I posted this. But turns out it was the double SC promotion, not because of my upgrade.

[h=3]Will I receive extra Points or Status Credits if I am successfully upgraded?[/h]No. Velocity Points or Status Credits can only be earned for the original booking.
