An I fare gets a 50% multiplier on EQM (not just RDM) instead of 75%? A bit confused because majority of the articles on the web say that the latter but that's also because they were published before the March 2021 change.

What's the confusion? I think you just answered your own question.

1x base miles
* 1.5x for I fare EQM bonus (instead of 1.75x)
* 1.5x for the Status Accelerator bonus, valid thru end of June 2021
= 2.25x overall multiplier for EQM on base miles flown on I fare?

Thanks to anteater I got my correct miles for two trips (one-and-a-half, actually, since one trip was split before/after the 3/31 changeover). Really fast and easy. Thanks again, anteater!

Add me to the anteater fan club as well. He helped me this past weekend with getting the EQM and RDM fixed up for a recent flight my wife and I took in I and D (booked last December in I and P, respectively). Thanks for helping me and everyone else out, anteater. Much appreciated!
On a related note, I was wondering how exactly to target the new First Class fare classes when booking online. I think to book into J, I just need to select "Refundable" fares. To book into D or I, selecting "Lowest Fare" does the trick as long as there's availability. But what about C? Is there some way to coax the website to display C fares?

COS posted at 50% . Messaged Anteater and COS correction submitted. Correct 75% COS posted next day.
Thanks again for offering to do this for us!

A third public Thank You! to anteater for being gracious and using his/her AS contacts to help with an I Fare correction.
Fare was purchased 12/2020 and just finished travel. Was beyond helpful because that extra 25% pushed us over the edge to MVPG, so a huge thanks!
