Possibly not.....codeshares on NON Star Alliance airlines can be problematic...when crediting to FF programs OTHER than the codeshare partner (in this case UA)
I flew DEN-CEZ on ZK (Great Lakes Airlines) under a UA flight number but got zero credit to my NZ account.
(Found out later EVERYONE codeshared on that flight ...lol...it had about 7 flight numbers!)

Thanks for the info, do you think that I can add my lifemiles number and then if I dont get credited, submit a request to United? I dont know if it will be a problem because the boarding pass will show the Lifemiles number.
