"X" corresponds to saver. There's other charts outlining earning rates for each of their partners, too.

A few quick things: understand the difference between RDM and EQM. If you're trying for status make sure you're checking EQM earning rates, esp on partner airlines. As a general rule of thumb you'll always earn 100% miles flown on AS metal or more (125-200% if purchasing a ticket in First Class or an expensive Main Cabin fare depending on the fare code). You'll see fare code when selecting flights and checking out.

Thanks for the details, you two! I had to delete the links you had in the quotations because I'm not allowed to post links until I have 5 posts, lol.
One more question, on the left column, what does the "Flight ranges" refer to?
I think I'm starting to understand a little what's happening under the hood, here. I needed to look up RDM and EQM, though. I will play around with the website to try and better understand this!
