American Airlines 192 Business (R)

Alaska's Cathay page shows R as being Premium Economy. I'm a little confused on what the EQM/RDM earnings will be for these legs.
Technically must be CX coded to earn points. You will usually get credit by emailing in copy of boarding pass and copy of eticket receipt. Try pulling up the CX portion on the CX site to possibly see what fare class its mapped, likely the lowest business. Its an AA fare basis an not a CX fare so that is why R shows as Y+. different airlines use different letter codes for the same cabin.
