EK crediting to QFF in lower fare class
I've flown half a dozen or so Emirates flights in the last few months. The tickets purchased were "Economy Flex" but they've shown up in QFF statement as "Discount Economy" earning a fraction of the points I would've expected. Has anyone else had the same issue? About to send QFF an email and see what happens.

What were the booking fare buckets (letter)?
Were these QF flight numbers on EK metal (codeshares)?
If EK flight numbers, here is the earning chart:
Emirates - Frequent Flyer - Flying Qantas and Partner Airlines - Earning Qantas Points

They were EK flight numbers on EK metal. I suspect the issue is with the fare buckets, and if so, it's all a bit misleading if you select "Flex" rather than "Saver" when buying a ticket, but it credits as discount economy.
And you need to be Sherlock Holmes to determine the EK fare bucket.
