A little more digging revealed that sometime in the past I'd set my earning preference to miles, so instead I apparently got (or will get; they haven't posted yet) some DL miles instead.
Is there any way for me to reverse this? I've already changed my earning preferences, but I hope to never have this many hotel nights in one place ever again and I'd really hate to miss out on the points.

I experienced the same thing when I first started staying @ Marriott's (from Hilton). I had put my airline # is because I had no reason to think that Marriott didn't offer Double Dipping like the Hilton--WRONG!!!!
Of course I didn't figure it out until I got a lousy .5 credit for Southwest....eh gad. There wasn't anything I could do about it....fortunately, it was only for a week's stay.
