OZ codeshare on NZ metal, eligible for miles?
Hi
Don't know if it is appropriate to open new thread on this, but i haven't come across usefull information on my own.....
I am trying to book a trip AKL-SYD-ICN on OZ, where the AKL-SYD leg is actually on NZ metal, and im trying to figure out if it earns OZ miles.. Because most of NZ flights earn nothing on partner programmes..
The booking is on OZ code, class S. I did a little research on OZ website, and it states:
The operating airline is NZ, and according to their chart, S class doesn't earn anything.. But the S class on OZ code got to be different to S class on NZ.... Am i interpreting this correctly?
Crediting it to NZ isn't an option, i have totally given up that programme.... completely useless since i fly often on *A...
Thanks in advance...

OZ and Star carrier code share flights: Eligible to accrue mileage. In case the operating airline is a star alliance member, miles earned accrual shall be based on the flight and standard accrual chart of the operating airline.
ex) Incheon / Nagoya OZ / NH code share flight: Eligible to accrue mileage

If it is a cheap economy fare then chances are it maps to a non-earning NZ booking class. That has been my experience with SQ codeshares on NZ (annoyingly even applies to first class SQ fares).

It;s surprising that you can't get mile on SQ first class codeshare.... i thought all F class bookings are mile earning ones...... and according to their website:
Between Star carriers: Eligible for Asiana mileage
ex) Nagoya / San Diego NH / UA code share flight: Eligible to accrue mileage

It's always the operating aircraft (or 'metal' as some people like to call them) that counts towards earning, not who the ticket was booked through.
Therefore, if NZ give no miles in S, then you'll get no miles.

First (F/R) fare with SQ but with NZ domestic flights included. Whenever I've gotten the NZ domestic flights on SQ codeshare I've gotten no miles. Annoyingly petty that they don't use a high economy booking class for the domestic flights on those fares.
