Question for EQM earned on LH codeshare
I am booking a travel from Europe to Asia. The flight is a codeshare flight which has a UA flight number but operated by LH. What is the EQM I will earn on this flight? 150% or 100%. As an UA 2P, what is extra benefit booking through UA vs LH?

Lufthansa (LH)
*** WARNING: L & T (intra-Europe) fares are now not posting! You will earn 0% RDM & EQM ***
US-GERMANY FLIGHTS:
FC: F,A - 150% / 150%
BC: C,D,Z - 125% / 150%
EC: Y,B - 100% / 150%
EC: M,H,Q,V,G,K,L,T,W,S - 100% / 100%
EC: N,E,R - 0% / 0% (Are these even bookable?)
All LH US-Germany earn 100% 1P/1K & 25% 2P RDM bonus.
INTERCONTINENTAL & INTRA-EUROPE:
FC: F,A - 150% / 100% (intercontinental only)
BC: C,D,Z - 125% / 100%
EC: Y,B,M,H,Q,V,G,K,W,S - 100% / 100%
EC: L,T,E,U - 0% / 0%
Note about intra-Europe/intra-Germany minimum mileages: It seems that 500 is the minimum for both C & Y fare classes (even L & T) on intra-Europe cross border flights. Flights within Germany may only get a 250 mile minimum, but it is not clear and conflicting reports have appaeared. See this older thread and read posts #167-#173 in this thread.

Welcome to FT!
You always earn miles/EQMs based on the policy of the operating carrier. Code shares offer no advantages for mileage earning. What you earn on an LH flight depends on the fare class you're booking. If you're in paid first or business class you'll get a 50% EQM bonus, most other economy fares have no bonus EQM's and some deeply discounted fares earn no miles at all for intra European flights.
