If buying from UA, W minimum for 100% but the link in post #2 shows that W is 50% earning if the UA flight is booked by AC. The bottom of my stomach dropped out when I first checked the link because I just went through a whole rigamarole getting UA to stop messing with my booking and down-grading my booking below W.
