What happens to reward points/miles when you are rebooked?

Typically, you can claim Original Routing Credit (ORC) for the flights you were originally booked on. If you are rebooked on an airline on a different alliance, you can claim duplicate credit for membership in that alliance too.

Just to add my personal experience. I've been re-routed multiple times on AA flights intended to be credited to BA, and always received original BA credit. I've been re-routed to Delta and received both original BA credit as well as Flying Blue credit.

I had a Lufthansa flight converted to train, and lost the miles; and had re-routings that resulted in more or fewer miles, depending on longer/ shorter routes.
So if you don't do anything, it is based on what you really fly.

It probably depends on the alliance. Most of my involuntary rebookings involve American Airlines and I was usually credit the miles for the original routing, plus a hefty bonus for the troubles.
One time though I had a UA flight rebooked in AC and in that case I did get miles for both the original and the new flight, credited to different award accounts. In any case, I never ended up with fewer than expected.
