It is definitely 100% EQM (EQM is also RDM) PLUS 100% Bonus RDM plus any Elite Bonus. Unfortunately, SQ does not also give a Class of Service Bonus COS like most of the other Alaska Partners in Premium Cabins. A return on this Itinerary would only be a short flight away of MVP Status. This is how it would post to Mileage Plan.



Hope this clarifies it for you. I love how easy it is to earn meaningful RDM on AS. BA accrues EQM & RDM in premium Classes. West coast USA/CAN to CPT SA in First A would earn enough EQM to attain MVPG and produce 101K RDM. A little off topic, but available for $6.5K return. Do that in January 2019 and you are MVPG until the end of 2020.
