If they simply rebooked you on say AF/DL flights but kept you in PE, but changed marketing then can ask for ORC. Call DL and have an agent assist you. Once they enter the info it'll show correctly couple days later, once system processes what they enter.

There shouldn't be an earning difference between AF/KL marketing unless you were downgraded. (At least AFAIK)
I just flew my inbound flight. I still flew the Premium Economy cabin, but was put on KL codes, and not AF codes. It was class W, so with KL codes I was only earning 20% of MQDs, vs AF codes 30% of MQDs.

Do I just send an email to Delta with the original routing? Do I need to send them the original ticket? Does this need to be original routing, or can this be one of the versions before the final change to KL?

My original routing was WAW-AMS-BOS-CLT on AF codes, but due to cancellations later became WAW-AMS-ATL-CLT on AF codes, and then ended up being WAW-AMS-JFK-CLT on KL codes.

I would like the one of AF codes via Atlanta, due to better earnings, but will be final with the original original as well.
