But on TK (and presumably other programs), the only differentiating factor appears to be the class and fare bucket. On the face of it, K appears to be K. But it seems somewhat surprising that Basic Economy and Standard Economy would credit the same on TK.
There have been reports in this forum of "incorrect" crediting to other programs (for better or worse) because of this.

The Basic (K) and Standard (K) [there's also a Flex (K)] stem from Branded Fares; AC changes booking classes/fare classes for Tango & Flex
