So the reason why I do a B fare is so I can get the bonus MQM. Even though for my situation now, I’m more interested in MQD however it doesn’t hurt to keep piling on the MQMs.

What worked for me at the end of day was to relax, use the automated mile request system,wait for it to reject me a week later, then call in.
Thank you for your kind comment. I will relax, I’m so use to seeing it clear within hours of my flight ending so you’re right I was freaking out. I always think worst case scenario where I won’t get any credit, however I need to relax like you said and use their system to get credit.
