  3. Checking fare rules on thankyou.com (which is a huge benefit to be able to access AFTER THE PURCHASE) confirms that this appears to be a consolidator/special fare, as I see "wholesale" in rules. Specific fare code is O3AUCTN3 (booking class O).

Additionally, and what reminded me to check -- my EXP upgrade, including companion, cleared just now, so the fact that this is apparently a special fare does not seem to affect that.

The flight is on Monday, so I will see on Tuesday how the mileage credits -- fare- or distance-based.
Waiting with bated breath.

Unfortunately, O is not one of the classes which differ between the two S.F. tables, but we'll learn something anyway.
