Instead it gives me the Fare Basis Code, which is : "MWKEDCC" to HKG and "MXMIDCC" returning to JFK.
Can I assume that those are M booking codes and therefore eligible for mileage?
CX doesn't always use the first letter of the fare basis as booking code. Your booking code is
M or lower. It is the booking code which determines mileage eligibility. You need to call.
