Hello everyone!

Hope everyone has had a good weekend. If I want to upgrade to business class using points on international short/long haul flights from economy, will I get SC points on the business tier or on the original economy tier?

You'd think it'd be the business tier but for some reason I remember reading somewhere a while ago that you get SC depending on the original booking paid with cash...or maybe that was another airline that I was looking at?

If someone could help me clarify then that would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance ~

With such upgrades, earn is as per original booking class.

This is in the Terms and conditions of Velocity and confirmed by experience.
 
I used VA bid upgrade once, paid $350 on top of about $249 or something from PER - SYD, and only got SC on the original fare subclass of Y. J in VA transAustralia not bad.
