Untangling AC's P Soup; how to tell if fare is P - Discount Business vs P - Business?

Hey FTers,

It appears that AC now wants us to live in a world where the same fare code means different things in terms of milage accrual. Case in point, a P fare can either earn 150% PQM on UA (if it's Discount Business) or 200% PQM on UA (if it's Business) effective January 1, 2019. I suspect this may have something to do with AC's branded fares which IMHO brand AC as being customer unfriendly. Here's the beautiful chart that describes what economy means to customers:


Getting back to the matter at hand, is there any way of knowing what fare you're about to buy maps to which fare code and specific fare code type (i.e. is this flight a P - Discount Business vs P - Business)?

Safe Travels,

James
