Knowing the name of the fare is of no use whatsoever if you plan to credit the miles to a program other than QF. I've been caught out by this and so learnt the hard way. Caveat emptor. Call QF if you're unsure what you're buying.
Actually, it's not so difficult, if a little technical.

See this post: Where is Booking Class.

displayPrice(1,270);fillForm('N','NSXO', ...
displayPrice(1,320);fillForm('S','SPXO', ...
displayPrice(1,575);fillForm('K','KIPOX', ...
displayPrice(1,805);fillForm('H','HOX', ...
displayPrice(1,1380);fillForm('J','J', ..

So the $245 fare is on O class, $270 in N, $320 in S, etc.
