How does one distinguish "B" from "buy up B"? I just did an MR on B tickets specifically to get the 150% EQMs and I will be *majorly* hosed if they only accrue 100%!!! I did note that during online purchase, I was offered a buy up for "more flexibility" (sounded like refundable/changeable ticket) but the screen that came up after selecting that choice showed "M" fare class and 100%, so I backed out and went back to my original "B" fares!!!! More money for fewer EQMs wasn't *my* idea of an improvement
