Should have specified sorry, it was a discounted J fare (ZNX fare basis) with only the domestic legs booked into the F bucket. I had them move both YYZ-DTW and DTW-PEK a day earlier and only the YYZ-DTW bucket changed. So for the difference of ~15 MQM, I didn't think it warranted another 20 mins on the phone.

OK, although now that you mention a Z fare booking into F class for the domestic legs, I'm not sure whether you should have gotten 150% or 200% MQMs anyway. Since the rule is "fare class paid", my guess would be 150% based on Z.
