An official POUG is defined (for the purposes of this wiki) as the rate that appears in red on the MMB/BA app. It is NOT the rate offered at the airport (please see http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/briti...ng-thread.html), or the rate offered when you click on the Upgrade my class of travel with money link from within MMB, or the Upgrade to the next available cabin blue/grey banner in the app.
Please add to this list as required, and include the month/year when the POUG is offered to you.

Pro-active Upgrade cost tracking and questions thread
I wonder if it might be worth trying to compile a list of MMB upgrade prices as it might be helpful for anyone looking for TPs who is prepared to buy a cheap economy return and gamble on an MMB upgrade being available.
My contribution to the list is that on MMB recently I have seen:
LGW-MRS: 80 (160 for a return)
LGW-BLQ: 80 (160 for a return)
LGW-NAP: 100 (200 for a return)
LHR-HAM: 100 (200 for a return)
LHR-OSL: 125 (250 for a return)
LHR-ARN: 125 (250 for a return)

LGW-MRS: 80 (160 for a return)
LGW-BLQ: 80 (160 for a return)
LGW-NAP: 100 (200 for a return)
LHR-HAM: 100 (200 for a return)
LHR-OSL: 125 (250 for a return)
LHR-ARN: 125 (250 for a return)

As a Silver there's not much value in that offer as I get lounge access anyway and I'm not that desperate for the TPs and on that route I have a fairly good OpUp record.
This week a WT -> WTP from LHR to BOS was 115.

I've split these posts out as I think the subject merits a seperate thread.
