Yes I did and I received an immediate denial citing the "F" fare class. It's why I posted in the first place; I don't know where "F" is coming from because my docs say "K".

Things get tricky with AC Tango fares, AC Tango fares can show up in multiple fare classes. In the end, it is AC that determines the posted earnings and unfortunately, AC's approach can be opaque when booked off of the AC site.

Mileage Earning on AC Rogue/Express
Probably a silly question, but do flights on Air Canada Express and Air Canada Rogue earn miles/PQFs/PQPs the same as a standard Air Canada flight (assuming they're in the same fare bucket)?

It's not a silly question, because the answer is different for some airlines. For AC, though, the answer is yes.

I have a short AC flight (YOW-YYZ) of 226 miles. I am booked into a P fare - shows UA MP would earn 200% miles. Does the mileage earning assume a 500 min mile still for UA elites? Therefore i would earn 1000 miles for this short hop or 452 miles?

You ll earn 456 miles + elite bonus

Hello,
I'm a UA Star Gold flying IAH - YUL - TLV and back on June in Premium Economy mapped into N class (AC).
How do they calculate the millage earnings? It says that N class on AC gets 125%. A little confused here...
Thanks,
R

For premier qualification, the 125% is then the base from which PQP will be calculated. You can see the calculation here: https://pqp.economiles.com/?q=IAH,YU...AH,,,&status=2. However, be aware that I believe there's an error in the RDM calculation here, and they're slightly more generous than they should be. (For example, YUL-TLV is coming up as 10,208 RDM, but I believe the correct number Is 9,593).
Hope this helps.

Is that because the partner airline PQP cap on an individual segment is not baked into the calc, or something else?

(From my own experiences I agree with jsloan's post there.)

Thank you very much!
So from the miles collecting angle, as a UA *Gold, I'll get more miles flying on a partner airline than on UA PE.
isn't this so?

BTW, I forgot to state earlier: this only applies if you bought your ticket from AC. If you bought it from UA, your miles are based on the amount that you spent, not the distance or fare class.
