"O" fare class on CO
Sorry if this has already been posted. I tried the search options that do exist without any luck.
CO has added a new fare class, "O", to its alphabet soup. Has anyone flown on an "O" class on CO metal, and have they received 100% EQMs credited to their Worldperks account? I would expect, since it is listed in the same category as CO K, N, V, U, and B fares on co.com that Worldperks members would receive 100% EQMs. However, nothing is listed on the Worldperks website about this fare class.

I think you should be okay.
As most of you are aware, CO lists Q,I,S,T,X,L as discount Y fares; these fares only garner 50% eqms for NW as well as no co.com tickets. Likewise co.com lists the following as regular Y fares: K, N, B, O, V, U earning and they are listed as earning 100% EQM on CO regardless of where purchased. This leads me to think that O would equate to full EQM crediting.

If that has any bearing - Delta lists an O fare as earning 100% MQMs, so I would imagine NW flyers would earn the same.

Thanks for the link to the DL site. Since both CO and DL are offering 100% EQMs on Co-coded, co-operated "O" fares, I'm inclined to believe that NW will as well.
To be safe, I'm going to send a comment in to NW to find out more info and ask if they can update their website.
