AA and Delta give 50% qualifying points for low cost fares (usually on the internet). NW gives 100% credit. What about United?</font>
No, all revenue fares including deeply discounted ones earn 100% on Mileage Plus unless it's indicated on the fare rules.

You get an extra 25% bonus for flying in C class and 50% for F class. The bonus do not count towards status.
