how is Global miles offer calculated

hi there..

I was wondering how the global miles are calculated. If you fly business or first it should be triple miles..

So i flew Business class PEK-DXB 3,631miles, and the global miles promotion is 7,262 miles.

am i correct in assuming the calculation is as follows:

3631 original miles (for economy)
3631
3631
total: 10893..

It should be calculated:
5447 + (5447 x 3) = 21788

or at least

5447 + (5447 x 2) = 16341

But i guess i'm asking too much ..
