I disagree, and have slightly tweaked your wording to match how I see it. If you're buying cheap P fares, you're not as important as someone buying full Y/B fares (not cheap FPs). I know lots of people who spend more on Flex than I do on J on the same itinerary, and they're getting a lot less value out of it. I see no reason not to give them more miles than the cheap P fares.

I wondered about that multiplier table. Right now it's "basic economy" and "everything else", which really makes me wonder why they bothered with a column. Is a $100 Basic fare really worth fewer points than a $100 Flex fare?
But at the same time, I don't agree that someone buying a $2000 P fare should earn more miles than someone who buys a $2000 M fare.
