Rerouted on US - when to request original routing credit?

My wife and I flew to PIT Friday. While waiting to board, we were called up by the GA and offered reroute on US direct to PIT (our itinerary was CLT-DTW//DTW-PIT) and VDB compensation of $300 each. We took them up on the offer, despite two downsides of the deal: 1. It was too late for our luggage to be pulled so it would arrive on our original flights about 4 hrs later and we'd have to wait to have it delivered to the hotel; and 2. We had to fly US.

At any rate, 24 hrs later, no flight credit shows in my SM acct. My itinerary now shows the US flight (and fare class Y) for outbound instead of the orignal DL flights. Should I give it more time before requesting mileage credit?
