Mileage Calculation Question

I am going to use FEQM to get to 1k this year (thanks for the advice in a previous thread). But, I want to use as few FEQM as possible in order to hit the mileage requirement. I have a trip to Denver, from IAH tomorrow. That mileage likely won't credit to my account to leave sufficient time to calculate the correct number of FEQM I need to transfer. So, just to make sure I am calculating correctly: I am currently plat, I booked B Fare, the outbound in CO, the return is United. I was upgraded outbound ((PN Class) and remain Economy on the return. The itinerary shows I will receive 876 EQM outbound (100%), but it also shows I will receive 876 EQM on the return, but with 150%.

So what EQM will I receive from this trip? 876+876? 876+1.5*876? Or something else?

Thanks!

Hopefully I can hit 1k with exactly 100,000 EQM.

Don't all B fares on UA/CO give the 50% COS bonus?

Ding! CO.com doesn't show EQMs properly post-upgrades.

But it would be 876 * 2 * 1.5.

I thought there was a CAP on FEQM once you are a Plat - or is that the case 2012 and beyond?

2012 and beyond.

There isn't a cap per se, but one cannot become 1K using FEQM.
