I've gotten them every time so far. I've also been able to upgrade these flights on AA.

Not a problem at all, just double check either online beforehand if your airline allows you to check or your boarding pass to make sure the number made it with the reservation, but you will get miles unless the ticket type prohibits miles.

Howdy,
Getting FF mileage for a ticket as I understand it is as follows:
1 - Full fare, Y or F - full milage credit.
2 - Non-Rev ticket - any class, you get no milage credit.
3 - Discount, consolidator tickets and the rest - you can get full credit, partial credit or no credit, depending upon the specific ticket and restrictions you purchase it under.
(Note: If someone could break down for us exactly what ticket types had reduced milage or no milage other than non-rev tickets, I for one would love to read it).
Keep the faith,
Pakse
p.s. So the answer with Orbitz is, I believe - sometimes.

I have just learned (and I'm steamed about it) that some Orbitz "Web Saver" deals are viewed by some airlines as "consolidator" fares and thus do not earn miles.
I bought an Orbitz AA RT SEA-STL-TPA for my wife and credited the flights to her BA account, but BA later ruled the flights "ineligible" for miles/points. This was an L class discount fare.
I don't know what other airlines besides BA make this distinction, but beware!
