Elite Qualifying Miles (EQM) required to achieve Elite status will remain the same as in 2004.

OK, I'm confused. It appears that DL flights do not qualify for WP EQS, but certain CO fare codes do. For comparison, here are my examples:

DL flight, fare code H = No EQS, only qualifying miles (right?)
CO flight, fare code V = EQS yes/no?, but miles qualify (not sure)
CO flight, fare code T = EQS yes/no?, but miles qualify (not sure)

Since I have a shot each year at Platinum based upon EQS, but not mileage, any idea which of the CO ticketed flights will qualify for EQS under the 2005 rules?

Thanks.
