Takes a while for QF miles to post. Send a pic of your boarding passes to AA via Twitter. They'll say it can take up to 30 days.

I don't think an ORC helps, your adjusted routing was longer.
In the lounge the agent didn't seem to originally realize I was on SWU. When he was calling in to get infant issues by rate desk or help desk or whoever I overhead "oh, it's an eVIP? I was just trying to put him in the same class as his ticket said."

Agree actual flown route longer than original by ~2,000 miles. Was hoping he put me in J for bonus.

I did get to check out SYD F lounge. Spa wasn't open until after our departure, but still got to enjoy the nice lounge.
