How to determine the class (letters) when booking through TAP?

Hi

I am flying from CPH to CNF but very undecided what fare I should choose when booking my flight with TAP. I want to pay the least as possible, but at the same time I need points to keep my gold status on SAS, so wouldn't mind paying a bit more if that means helping me keep the status.

This is how SAS gives points with TAP Flights:

But when booking with TAP it's impossible to know which "letter" your ticket will be. They only give you the option to choose the fares "Discount", "Basic", "Classic" or "Plus", but do not mention which letter corresponds to which fare.
I even called them and the customer support specialist was not able to answer me either.

Is there a way to figure this out before booking? I do not want to book just to find out later that I will be given 25% of miles only, that would be a disaster!
 
If you book through a travel agent, which in general isn't recommended, you might be able to use this trick: https://www.businessclass.com/forum...k-momondo-flygresor-se-skyscanner-etc.101773/
You might be able change the booking class to a higher (and likely more expensive) booking class by opening a second browser and start booking 9 tickets (with dummy names) and then never pay and then quickly search for the ticket you intend to buy in the other browser.

Which dates are we talking about?

I made a dummy search, out 14/1, home 28/1, this is without taxes and fees.

I am looking at these dates:

This price is the "Basic" fare, which is the one I want to buy (since it includes one checked-in bag). But if the booking class only awards 25% at SAS, then I'd be willing to pay more for the "Classic" fare, but that is what I need to know! Which software is this that you are using?

These are the valid fares for your dates, ticketing today, I am looking in expertflyer.com. This is an example where it can be beneficial to use a travel-agent to get the booking-classes you prefer.
