Any fare ineligible for MPC club points?
I just found that some online travel agencies can issue tickets for CX/KA at a lower price than the official channels (CX.com). For example, for a round-trip flight HKG-PVG, CX.com quotes HKD 1900, while the travel agencies quote HKD1400 (both are in Q fare class). I am wondering if the cheaper tickets sold by the travel agencies still qualify for MPC club points? Thanks!

The fare paid should not affect points earning. If it is Q class, then you should get the points.
The main ticket that you would pay for but that doesn’t earn miles is G class - group bookings often used on package tours.
