Quick BE earning question

Hello trying to book a ticket with AA but they have now twice hung up on me after spending an hour with them on the phone. Anyway as an EXP booking a BE ticket (tpa-clt-jfk-lhr then next day BA lhr-waw then several days later lhr-dfw-tpa) do I earn less LP's per dollar vs main cabin? I'm still getting my SWU's to clear but wasn't sure how much LP earning is compromised.

Thanks

Please disregard. I booked main cabin tpa-clt-jfk-lhr then lhr-waw then lhr-dfw-tpa all in J (except clt-jfk is waitlisted) for $1250.

For some reason the return waw-lhr flight was skewing the price crazy so I had them pull that out where I quickly booked a one way CE reward for 22.5K miles.

All done...!

For those who stumble on this thread after, yes, earning is reduced by over half. BE is 2 miles/LP base, down from 5 (with status bonus of 40-120% applied on top of the base).

Status: BC/MC
No status: 2/5
Gold: 2.8/7
Plat: 3.2/8
PP: 3.6/9
EXP: 4.4/11
