(in other words, I don't think it is unreasonable for a customer to assume that the fare basis quoted on the reciept is the fare basis that the operating carrier of that segment will use for mileage accrual purposes). Continental.com's statement:

*Please note that mileage credit for travel on codeshare flights, including Elite Qualification Miles and Elite Qualification Points, is determined by the operating carriers booking classes of service

does not imply, suggest, hint or state that what they're selling me could be markedly different than what they are claiming to be selling me, i.e. that a conversion takes place.

And that is why I said you are right and they are wrong. CO sold you 150%. You deserve 150%.
