Which of these Fare Basis get full mileage credit?
I'm trying to book a flight that will get me into 100K for the first time, but I can't seem to figure out if these two fare basis are 100% frequent flyer mileage credit on United Airlines or not.
I have two flights on Swiss (fare code WRCGB) and Lufthansa (fare code MICSWIUK). Does that translate into W and M booking class? If so, woohoo! If not... Ugh!
Thanks for your help in advance.

Yes, those translate into W and M, respectively. And, as you've noted, both earn 100% credit. You'll even earn your 100% RDM elite bonus as a 1P on the Lufty flight.
Just make sure they are operated by the marketing carrier. If they are not then you run in to the potential for the codeshare mapping to be such that they do not earn, though they still might. It is just harder to figure out when codeshares are involved.
