Looks like you will have the option in the near future to elect to choose and pay to collect your minuscle 125-500 miles when flying in BASIC on 4U/EW.

In essence choose to pay extra to get your mini reward for loyalty

"Im Basic-Tarif ist das Sammeln von Meilen gegen Gebühr möglich."
--> "When flying Basic Fare, collecting miles is possible against a fee."
