Double awarded Star(SAS) - Oneworld(Qantas)??
I am flying RTW with SAS/Qantas on at ticket sold by SAS in Norway (not a pure milage run as I bring my family). I am flying:
SK(clean): OSL-EWR-LAX
QF(FJ) : LAX-NAN-SYD
QF(clean): SYD-AYQ-CNS//CNS-BKK
SK(clean): BKK-LON-OSL
As a Eurobonus member with SAS i earn points flying QF, and on certain flights with SK i earn points with QF FF-program.
BUT:
officialy QF say in their program rules that "Members of more than one loyalty scheme must nominate prior to travel on which scheme they wish to earn points."
In real life my friends, does i work that way, or is it possible to get double up????????

(all that I know) rules of ff-programs will officially only allow one credit to one ff-program per flight segment. (official rule-) Exceptions known to me are when they, for whatever reason out of your personal influence, put you, after having been booked and ticketed, on another airline. Then you officially can claim the 'original' credit and also ask for miles in another ff-pgogram valid for that other carrrier.
But mileage miss-credits (double credits, or no credits at all) happen, the more manuel changes en-route (from flight segment to flight segment) are done, the more likely some mileage credit mistakes (double miles or no miles at all) can/will happen ...

You can only earn miles in one FF program per flight sector. But,if you like, you can choose to earn miles on a different FF program each time you check-in. That's up to you.
Incidently SAS do not fly EWR-LAX. That will be on UA, most likely.

I'm not a Star expert so please correct me if I'm wrong. But I believe there are some programs that allow you to earn some combination of miles and tier earning points. The example that comes to mind is Singapore Airlines (SQ) which allows you to put your SQ miles into other Star airline accounts (ie; UA, LH, etc) yet still earn elite tier points in their PPS program.
