Just did my sweep on the United milage accrual webpages and noticed that United has changed the accrual formula when flying on Shenzhen Airlines (bet you didn't know they were a partner!)

Effective October 28, 2018, the fare buckets J,Z and R appear to go from discount economy to business class and will now earn 150% RDM and 100% PQM. Confusingly, the RDM chart lists those J,Z,R fare codes as being both discount economy and business (I'm guessing that's a typo on UA's end). That is all!

Safe Travels,
