Mileage accrual for discount economy

I may be taking a few Brussels airlines flights on E-class or similar. I have been CO up until now, it seems though that almost no *A ff programs allow you to accrue miles on these discount fares.

From my initial check it seems that SAA does at least let you have 50% on these fares, for Brussels Airlines and some of the M&M family - so it would make sense to join SAA to at least get something for these flights (using the SAA account only for this). Would be glad to know if this really is the case, and if there is anything I have missed here - perhaps another way to have these flights accrue at least some miles.

Thanks

D.
