That's plain WRONG information.

All NH economy fares as long as it is TPAC and intra-asia had been earning full 100% of actual miles and 100% elite bonus (75/50/25 according to your status) for quite a while now because UA and NH has a JV agreement.

I can understand people swtich to NH because of 100% actual miles and 100% elite bonus, but SQ ? You got no elite bonus and many cheap fares earn ZERO actual miles.
I buy the earning fares. Much better fare rules than UA (date changes, etc)

And for Gold or below the elite % bonus is just 50% or less. COdbaUA made the switching cost lower by tanking mileage plus

And Jeffrey doesn't revenue share with SQ. Believe me that gives me some satisfaction when hitting the Purchase button in SQ.com
