It only does if your ticket price is in alignment with the COS. There is no factor for COS in the new method. The assumption is you are paying more for that class (although as we know here at FT you can get discount business class tickets). See the pattern? They are rewarding you for spend, not COS or distance, when it comes to RDM.
