Status credit run help

[vicky whizz]

I’m currently in London, and had previously done my calculations and assumed that my flight home to Brisbane would be sufficient status credits to bump me up to gold. It appears I’ll now be 30 status credits short.

I have a BA flight booked to Prague (London to Prague), which I know will give me minimal status credits. Does anyone know whether I will get increased status credits, if I accept BA’s offer to upgrade my flight?

I have done this a few times on BA and have always been rebooked into fare paying Business booking class (can't recall if it was I or D) but gave me the same status credit as commercial business fare.

Last time I did this was in April from London to Barcelona so hopefully they haven't changed their practice.

PS: Just checked my activity statemant and the flight I paid to upgrade on BA from LHR-BCN yeilded 40 status credits with QF
