baggage fees when someone else buys your ticket with his amex delta gold card

i bought my mom a delta ticket using my delta amex gold card. the receipt indicated it was for ~her~ ticket and even included her delta ticket number. i was told that since the ticket was purchased with my delta amex gold card that she would not have to pay baggage fees.

her flight (mco - pit) was today and they made her pay baggage fees. my mom had all my amex account info AND a digital copy AND a paper copy of the screen shot of the receipt with her name and ticket number. this receipt even said, directly below her name "don't forget, you can check your first bag for free!"

NB i was not with my mom. she was solo.

was my dear mom wronged??

thanks!
