Weird Delta/Velocity points crediting.

[pgsdiver]

Hi folks,
Just did a few internal flights in the LOTFAP and the following showed up on my Velocity activity statement.
Why the difference in points one way or the other? Both are booked in Delta's First class, and the SCs are the same so I'm a little confused.
Thoughts?

Regards,
Peter

As of June last year the points earn on Delta changed up a little. First/Business class points earn now has 3 earn rates dependent on fare class... (it used to just be a flat 1.5points/mile)
See table below:

Thanks for that. It explains it perfectly - didn't see the change on the website.
