The math is correct. 1.75 × 1.50 = 2.625. If AS is rounding up the multiplier to two decimal places (2.625 rounds up to 2.63), then effectively 2.63× is being credited. Prior to the 50% bonus, no rounding would occur on the multiplier. Good observation.

The only other fare buckets that would get a slight boost would be B & M fares with a 25% COS where the multipler would 1.25 × 1.50 = 1.875 which would round to 1.88.

To recap, EQM earnings through year end.

2.63× F revenue buckets
2.25× Fare buckets Y & S
1.88× Fare buckets B & M
1.50× All other revenue buckets.
