I realize it isn't easy and doesn't seem fair, but restrictions for earning miles on certain fares have been a part of the "mileage game" for years now.
Currently, and until October when Continental leaves SkyTeam, Delta and Continental are partners yet if I purchase a domestic Delta fare in either L, U or T class I only earn 50% credit in Continental's OnePass. It's mainly to drive my choice to Continental if I want to earn 100% miles since most of Delta's fares that earn 100% are higher than Continentals bargain fares on the same routes. Additionally Continental only awards 100% credit if you buy those bargain fares on Continental.com!
If earning miles is important to you then you really need to educate yourself on "how to play the game" and know where to look up all of the various terms and conditions.
