It's actually not too bad. I've resorted to it (with success) when J CR was unavailable. The downside is as PC/PC+ you only earn SCs on the original fare.QF is one of the few (or only?) I know of that even allows a points upgrade on an reward ticket tbh (except J to F). Yes, ridiculous price I agree, but at least it's an option. I can't think of any other program that has this (but no doubt others do this - QF is hardly a leader!). So while it's very poor value, it is still a feature imo.
So always select the higher class if available.
