Same issue

Thanks for posting. I am in the exact same boat and I am travelling next week to see some friends as well as top off my EQM's. When I booked the B fare the itin said 150% EQM's and after the upgrade to ZE it said only 100% EQMs for that segment (had another segment on an RJ that still showed B at 150% EQM). I was wondering if I should be concerned and re-checked all of the earning "rules" for the fare basis I purchased. This thread seems to confirm that I should be OK - it just stinks when the documentation on your reservation does not match the mileage accrual rules also posted on the web site. Could make things sticky if EQMs did not post as expected and a dispute needed to be resolved regarding elite status for next year.
