Why would you say that, i.e. is there any reason why you believe it is not the case?

That means you will earn literally NOTHING if you are really booked into V or W.

AFAICT - BR does not offer so-called basic economy. Instead, they are simply the name for discounted economy and full-fare. You will still get all the standard perks.

2 hot meals with 1 small snack. Don't expect a lot about the food even it is a purported 5-star airline.

So you always try to book from the airline's website? You never use an OTA?

I can see why I would want to use EVA's website because I can just pay a little more to get a different booking class in order to get miles on OZ. Otherwise, you're right, I'll get nothing on those economy flights.
