I thought there was a minimum mileage accrual for full fare Y-class, something like 500 miles for a domestic flight, which this was.
There is no minimum mileage on UX, whether in Y class or anything else. I have also had laughably low mileage earnings on UX (eg; 48 level miles for MAD-LIS).
Generally speaking, I do not think that there are minimum earnings for Y class specifically with FB. When there are minimum earnings (which is the case for most partners), the minimum earning applies to all earning classes, albeit pro-rated to the earning ratio (eg: a 500 minimum earning will translate into a minimum 125 for booking classes earning 25%).
As to UX, I must say that I have a very strong dislike for them. Taking a UX LGW-MAD flight feels like being plunged back to the 1970s and the era of holiday charters, frequent ridiculously long unexplained delays included.
