It does not say a minimum 500 base miles. Thus, fare classes K and L should be getting 500 PQM not 250. This is a case where the web site isn't aligned with actual outcome.
I agree on the lack of ambiguity. I'm also pretty certain it's an oversight -- other partner pages state when the 500PQM minimum is reduced to 250PQM/125PQM on the relevant 50%/25% fare classes (OS, AC, Brussels) - they've clearly forgotten to update the Swiss one. But this is also something I only discovered after being told how PQM might have been calculated historically AND comparing with other partner pages (which isn't really a reasonable expectation) - I'm still miffed that the MP reps can't even give me a clear statement on the topic, never mind awarding me the PQM they (admittedly inadvertently) advertised.
