For whatever, the normal flight info (MQMs, MQDs for base fare) for the trips haven't posted yet even though the first flight was 10/23. It's giving Reason Code Q (Still processing - should complete within 24 hours) even though the first flight was over 72 hours ago. Is it normal that flights with FCM buyups take longer to calculate or do I need to contact DL and see what's wrong? I took the return flight today (upgraded both on the same FCM offer) and I'm wondering if both have to finish before the system calculates the info for the upgraded flights.
Mine posted within 24 hours at the (erroneous) 100% bonus but not counting towards MQD both times I did FCM well in advance of 24 hours, so our experiences are quite different. Mine was a 3 sector multi-trip so maybe that's a factor but I really don't know.
