If your ticket is 016 ticket stock (the Brussels Airlines flight will still have a UAXXXX flight #), you will treat it like a standard UA flight (based on status and the multiplier times the base fare for that flight). If it is a SNXXXX flight #, it will be 50% of miles flown (+ the bonus based on your status).

You could always call MP to make sure... but this link directly from UA's website should lay it out pretty clearly.

Thanks.

I had been on that UA page but I was concerned because of the LH example Winecountry linked to. It seems like there is no 100% way of knowing without getting the fare class from the operating carrier after you have booked.
