MQD for Partner Operated Delta Ticketed Flight not Posting Properly
Has anyone looked at their MQD earnings on Partner operations (VS in this case) Business Class tickets from BOS->LHR (RT)
it is showing as 0$ MQD earned and the return flight booked on the same ticket is not showing up at all
I am Diamond, used GUC to upgrade one leg and paid for BC on the other leg.

Correct. VS G class is the booking class VS uses for Upper Class awards when you redeem miles. So the DL system just sees it as an award flight and won't award any Skymiles/MQDs for flight. GUCs applied to AF/KL flights book into Z class which is a revenue fare class on AF/KL (like DL, this is the lowest business booking class on AF/KL) and thus do not have the issue.

G class is just the inventory bucket class VS chooses to use to determine whether or not a flight is available to apply a DL GUC upgrade on and so that is the class the GUCs book into on them. AF/KL happen to choose to use the Z revenue fare inventory bucket class to determine eligibility for GUC application.

And did the miles flown count toward million miler status too?

Note that there are no Account Activity listings for MM earn. Award flights do not earn RDM and mileage earn in account activity only reflects RDM earn.

Awards booked on partners with Skymiles became MQD earn eligibile effective Jan 1, 2024. This was one of the announced changes last year. Believe that anything that earns MQDs also counts towards MM on a 1:1 miles flown basis.
Note that there are no Account Activity listings for MM earn. Award flights do not earn RDM and mileage earn in account activity only reflects RDM earn.

Yes, there is no indication in the Delta account profile of what has been added to the MM counter, but the MM counter seems accurate, and agrees with the Excel sheet I have started keeping since the end of last year (close to 3 MM, and I want to make sure that I get there before the end of the calendar year), so if others do something similar, they should be able to see whether miles on Westjet are added when traveling on a DL award ticket.
