Airfare.com
I am looking to go to EZE and MVD next month and airfare is pricing out around $1150 per person. I found airfare.com for about $300 cheaper. I was wondering if anyone has had any experience booking with them and more importantly, if you earn miles with their tickets, or are they booked into G-class? I did a search, and not much re: UAL ticketing came up, so I am hoping someone can offer some insight. Thanks!

They are probably consolidators - G class is reserved for travel agents and their discounted travel benefits.

So since it is a consolidator, I would earn miles? Do all tickets purchased through consolidators earn miles? Also, does anyone know of any reputable consolidators for airfare to Buenos Aires for March? Thanks.

I think only tickets purchased through "name your own price" or "hidden airline" sites like Priceline and Hotwire respectively are forbidden from earning miles, so I think you are fine.
