It is a 016 ticket flying on United metal crediting to a star partner program. B gets 100% accrual versus S getting 50% accrual, in this case crediting to Aegean.
will try to report back on this when it credits to their accounts

For example, if UA were still crediting PQM on its own metal by fare class, it would credit as B without an upgrade and ZS if upgraded into a non-earning class like PZ.

reporting back on the results.
good news is ticket cleared PZ.
bad news is it credited as S instead of booking class B on the receipt.
so still not conclusive if it’s the PZ that looked back at the fare basis instead of the booking class, but based on this, fare basis is used, which meant half the accruals (receipt says B)
