flying with a points upgrade

[vyaw2003]

So if i fly BNe to SYD full economy, which gives me 20 status points, if i pay with points to upgrade to business, how many status points do i get?
Does that still count as an economy flight for status points?

It still counts as economy for status credit earning.

On the basis it is fare paid, not class flown.
