Looks like it's changed to be based on booking class, not fare actually paid in USD.

Thanks for the post.
It sucks, but that's life I guess
The rules seem to be quite new. I hope that this only applies ex JNB.

Hmm, it looks like the STPC may now be done on a city by city basis.
It's better in some ways, only 8 hours economy rather than 10, and 6 hours in business rather than 8.
