Why do I earn, with 100% code, less miles than the distance flown?!

I just flew JRO-DAR-AMS with KL.

It is surely sold as a direct flight from Kilimanjaro Internartional Airport to Amsterdam with a "tech" stop in Dar-Es-Salaam.

The "tech" stop is the KL way to sell a triangular route stopping in 2 cities (JRO and DAR).

FYI, DAR is further away from AMS than JRO...

Distances are
JRO-DAR-AMS = 4798 miles
JRO-AMS = 4288 miles (if it flew direct)

That makes a total of 892 miles missing on my account (counting the 75% Gold bonus).

Any idea on how to explain it to FB?

it'd have love to fly this route direct both ways so i'd like this extra hours of seating in a big metal tube to at least squeeze out a few extra miles!
