I may be wrong, but I can't recall any application under EEA regulations being reported as made under "Priority and Super Priority services".
You can select priority when you book an appointment. The payment (250euro) supposedly goes to UKVI, however my bank charge was to "Teleperformance" i.e TLSContact, so presumably they hold my 250 euros and hope I don't request a refund, while doing nothing to speed up my application at all?
That was a priority or VIP service for the biometrics not for the application itself.
I selected £0.00 to pay TLS, and 251Euros to pay UKVI. I did self-service and didn't choose any addons, so I do not believe that's the case. Here's the email they sent:
