The relationship between diamond club numbers being on the boarding cards and whether the miles post or not is one that has always baffled me though. There seems to be no correlation between the two!

We've had a slightly different experience for a March trip:

I booked flights for family member on the CO website.

Entered old version of fam member's DC number.

DC number appeared on both BPs.

Only miles for the return portion have posted...

...now gotta chase the outbound portion.
