Do these flights earn any miles when credited to UA's program? R isn't listed on UA's charts as mileage earning.

Are these flights eligible for an upgrade under the unlimited domestic upgrade program?

Thanks for your help.
R is the booking code for a non-elite that uses miles or some other instrument to upgrade, so it would be quite bizarre for your flight to book into that class. I'm thinking it might be worth a phone call.
