it's been well over a week now, so I'm pretty sure this is a dead horse at this point. Looks like nothing at all from this segment posted to my Alaska account.

I was poking around looking at a good JFK-NRT-SIN-NRT-JFK Comfort+ fare ($993) for late September. The trip summary page shows Delta Comfort+™ (W), but when I click on the fare rules link it shows Fare Code - VLG0ZPCS. Since V only earns 50% I have to say "no thanks," although it is a very good price for Comfort+ on such a long trip.

And we don't know yet if/how they will credit to AS MP yet. Mine did not credit at all yet, but they are looking at it.
but the real question is what was the difference between the lowest fare and the C+ fare when you looked?
In my case, I believe it was $29, plus I ended up with an empty middle next to me on a transcon.

the fare basis code is C (Comfort+) on that fare. You can decode it here:

I'm interested as well to see if you get the Alaska credit otherwise i will need to swap it back and at least earn some skypesos (rather than 0 points). Although i'm also tempted to pay another $70 for First which books into A fare class, which should credit into Alaska.

I have a flight booked as well from LAX-BNA. It was $30 for me to upgrade from the lowest fare to C+.

I did try after-the fact credit submission on delta.com for that flight, but the automated system gave me an "F" .. meaning attempt to credit to two programs.
