Miles earned seem very little?
I flew SAN-MSP-DCA. SAN-MSP only earned 825 miles, then MSP-DCA 500 miles. Shouldn't it be 1,532 miles for SAN-MSP plus x1.5 or something like that? (Non-elite here.) The fare wasn't BE.

Miles are earned based on fare, not distance.
Based on your earnings it appears your fare was $265.

Thanks! Forgot about that. Life has been crazy. Diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer, so apologies if I sound all over the place.

Praying hard for you and your specialists. Work on your nutrition as much as possible.

Delta strictly does everything revenue based at this point, unfortunately, so no mqms or segments. It’s simply fare times a multiplier based on status.
