Correct me if I'm wrong, this would mean more upcoming Qmiles that I anticipated
makrom there are two different, completely separate, parts to the calculation.
First you will receive the 'standard' miles for your flight as normal.
second you will be awarded four time your base miles. Your base miles are the great circle miles times the booking class factor So the second part of the miles awarded is 4 * 6488 * 1.25.This is in addition to the standard 12976.
Your tier bonus is only used in the first part and has nothing to do with base miles.

If you look at your PC statement, not your activities, these are itemised there.
