Thanks Mannej, I think you are correct. Since the changes though it seems every flight I've taken has been at the lower SC earn rate, despite there being some variance in the prices paid for individual flights. Do the fare buckets posting full Y SC's still exist for discount Y? Based on my...

I've just dropped from Gold to Silver, most of my travel since April was SYD-PER at the "simpler and fairer" rate of 40 SC's for each discount Y return trip. Under the older "complicated and unfair" system I'd frequently score 80 SC's for discount Y return flights, but maintaining WG since...
