Unhappy Code sharing and frequent flyer miles

Just returned from a trip to Europe with DL sharing with KLM. Looked at my frequent flyer miles with DL and found I'd only gotten 1,087 miles for a 10,000 mile trip. Is it because of the route sharing?

Welcome to FT!
It would be helpful to know what flights/airlines you took ... what class your economy ticket(s) was? Some of the cheapest (and most restrictive) economy tickets no longer earn full mileage credit. Also, this question is probably best answered in the DL forum.

If you just returned, it could be the case that not all of your miles have posted yet. This happens, especially with partner flights or flight segments that start overseas. DL tends not to post all miles for a trip at the same time.

Check back by logging into your DL account again in about a week and if you haven't yet received the miles expected, people here shoulc be able to help you if you post your fare classes (the letter that begins the fare code, Y B M S H Q K L U T X V E for economy) and the operating and marketing carrier for each segment.
