EQMs booking first upgrade fare with gold 75k
If I book a Sfo To Jfk first upgradeable fare with a gold 75k upgrade (confirmed at time of booking) what is the eqms earned for the flight? 100% (main cabin) or 175% (first)? Or somewhere in between?

What's the fare class? M and B get a 25% bonus, S and Y get a 50% bonus. All of those fares are eligible for F upgrades at the time of booking for 75Ks, however, they are often more expensive than P/I fares.

i was trying to find where on the website it lists the bonus for these higher fares. Can you post a link? Also, if I use a customer care discount code, I still earn EQM bonus right?

Even as a 75K, you can still choose MVPG instant upgrade in the booking options to show M or higher fares. Same with selecting MVP instant upgrade to book S or higher.
Note that there's restrictions in the booking engine that won't allow more than 1 person on a reservation when using the MVP instant upgrade option or more than 2 people with the MVPG instant upgrade option. Can always book a Main Cabin fare and upfare with an agent after.
