YOY fare increase: 39.15%
YOY increase in miles/credits: 52.5%

First trip this year for me that provided a clean, apples-to-apples comparison being exact same flights on very close to the exact same dates.
If you compare to SQM, sure. If you compare to SQD, it's a pretty substantial decrease in percentage-of-status-qualification, even after a 40% fare increase.
