When I click on the "Award Miles" link for that flight, it indicates for that fare code (S), Brussels Airlines gives only 50% miles/EQM.
I'm wondering that since it shows a United Flight codeshare number, do I still get 100%? I know I'm not talking about a lot of miles here, but the difference between the two does mean whether I will qualify again for Premier next year on this trip. If not, I will need to take another very short on United before the end of the year to qualify.
It's the operating metal that counts. If you look at the UA MP page
http://www.united.com/page/article/0,6867,53264,00.html it shows S class on SN gets you 50%.
