Earn points on Early Bird checkin on flight?

When I purchase Early Bird checkin do I earn points on that purchase? Or only the airfare itself?

The answer is yes and no. Yes, you will earn points if charged to a WN credit card.

I think earned points are tied to base fare before any extras like taxes, fee, setc.

Meanwhile. there would be little to no reason to buy early bird between now and October since they are not selling middle seats until then.

And the number of points would be so small... hardly worth counting.

Points earned is tied to fare only. You don’t earn on flight taxes paid not upgrades like early bird or buying A1-15
