n00b question. On Dec 26, a Sky Club agent was extremely helpful in rebooking me from the Midwest to New York. (I was supposed to fly to SDF on DL, continuing on to NYC on a separate AA ticket the next day. Due to IRROPS, I wouldn't have made it in time to SDF; that trip became useless to me. The agent went above and beyond to get me straight to NYC.)

Here's the thing. I was rebooked on AA. Asked the agent if he can put in my AA FF#. However, agent said if he did that , I wouldn't be able to earn miles on DL. I went for the AA# anyway inin order to receive Gold benefits.

Sorry for being so verbose, but I just wanted to tell the full story to indicate the agent seemed to know what he was doing. Is the agent correct or can I still get ORC with Skymiles? (AA miles have already posted.)
