Well, see above for CO vs. UA. But in general the EQM or RDM bonus depends on the fare class booked. Historically, only Y/B coach fares received the 150% EQM. Going forward, it doesn't seem that they've published the specific fare bucket class. I actually only see the RDM bonus table (without fare buckets), not the EQM (now called PQM) table.
