Basic economy earns 0.5 EQM.
With first class pricing becoming much more "reasonable," it's often much better to buy first (which earns at least 2.0 EQM). Certainly, if you don't have a lot of time to do a lot of flying, it's worth considering—and I've found that sometimes first is less than 2x regular economy.
