So to my question, she has 6,000 points following a ba flight and now has just over a 4,000 miles flight on qantas with a booking code of M, according to the chart the base miles is 50% but the elite qualifying points is 100%. Does this mean she will get 2,000 points or 4,000 points towards the challenge?

Thanks!
EQPs are based on the base miles earned. If the flight was 4000 miles, 1.0x EQP on 50% EQM is 2000 EQP.
