At least with DL tickets, the number of RDMs you get depends on the amount of money paid for a fare, multiplied by your Medallion level. For example, a gold medallion with a $1,000 RT international ticket would get ~4,000 RDMs each way, irrespective of fare class or distance flown. It's actually even less since they don't count taxes, fees and charges.
