Each airline FFP has web links for earnings on partner airlines. With revenue based earning to a ffp's not easy to determine. But for you likely to be fare-distance based.

For CX what fare class? [A letter]. Some ~ many low priced CX fares earn nil ~ very little. L is a common low priced fare bucket
A broad guide, but check the ffp-->
