I very much doubt she'll earn anything on the flight since it doesn't consider her eligible for an upgrade (she's DL silver). Everything appears to be treating it as a PWM ticket. Bummer.
And I won't know for a long time. The flight's in November. Thankfully, it was a low price, short round-trip that was only worth 1000 MQM (which wouldn't really do her any good) and 1250 RDM. Minor annoyance. But it could be a much bigger deal to others. Frankly, we paid less than $200 for the RT which would have made a PWM ticket a better deal than an award ticket anyway. I don't like redeeming @ $.01/mile but it's small enough that I'm not going to worry about it (and the two other tickets where MQM/RDM/upgrade eligibility matter more both appear as normal revenue tickets).
