I can't ever remember AS grandfathering earning rates if there has been a change between the date of purchase & the date of flight. At least going back to 2018. The earning rates on the day of travel have always prevailed.
If AS allows credit for flights booked before the changes were announced, not before the effective date of the changes, I anticipate they will only be granted upon request.

A big thank you to Alaska for coming through in the end, and to anteater who facilitated everything! The EQM and RDM totals for my flights taken on 4/01/21 have been recalculated using the 75% COS bonus (as advertised at the time of purchase) and the difference is reflected in my account.

I should add that Customer Care has now been informed of the proper policy (75% COS bonus for I/P fares purchased prior to 2/23/21) so you should be able to get the miles by writing to AS (https://www.alaskaair.com/feedback/general-comments). If for some reason you run into a hiccup, anteater has kindly offered to help anyone else.

Perhaps an FTer who successfully emailed CC and received an adjustment will share a template that can be used by others.

AS has acknowledged they are correcting agents as incidents occur, with respect to the EQM CoS bonus for flights booked prior to the announcement.

I engaged on 4/2 for a 4/1 flight which didn't receive the correct mileage. First heard back on 4/20 where CS requested more information and responded immediately. Haven't heard anything since - I pinged today to see if more information is needed.
