500 mile min - fare bonus?

If I fly one way PIT-ORD (412 actual miles) on a full Y fare, is my 50% EQM bonus calculated on the 500 mile min? Would it be:

500 + 250 = 750 EQM? or
412 + 206 = 618 EQM? or
500 + 206 = 706 EQM?

Same thing for my 25% RDM bonus?

Thanks!

For a 2P it would be:

RDM: 500 + 125 = 625
EQM: 500 + 250 = 750

Every Time I have done it, it has shown up at 750. Plus I get 1.5 EQS

500 + 250 = 750 EQM on full-y is the winner along with the full-y bonus .5 eqs (just make sure it posts to your mp a/c with the "*" next to your flight where if you look at the bottom of the page you will see: "*This transaction earned a 50% bonus towards your year-to-date Elite Qualifying Miles and Segments."

as to rdms, you get your elite bonus based on the flight miles regardless of fare basis so it would be:

500 + 250 = 750 EQM + 125 rdm's as a 2p for a net of 625 rdm's
