I'm not sure what the official policy is, but my wife received 50% EQM as the companion on a recent trip. I was on an N fare and received 100% EQM. I never called CO to challenge the 50% EQM because my wife won't come close to 25K this year anyway, so it wasn't worth the hassle.
I think if you read some of the earlier posts it was suggested that you start the reservation online then call the online support desk to finalize the reservation with the cert. You can later make the argument that ther reservation was made on CO.com and should be eligible for 100% EQM.
