Ah, but then looking at my mobile BPs on my iPhone from the previous 829 and 826 trip, the FF and OW tier is showing. Compare that to this trip with zip.

I just want to know why bother having the option of mobile BPs available for Wallet, but then giving you error messages when you try to do online check-in and also when you try to add your FF during the process. I took screen shots of the entire adventure for CX 829, 759, 710 and 826.

(I admit to a chuckle thinking if Air Canada can manage this minor task given it's notorious IT issues......)

Now the waiting game begins...to see of all 4 flights post.

You don't get mobile BPs from all outports either (you can't mobile BP from BNE)

The only way I could check in this week was via the CX app.

When the physical boarding pass printed out, my BA number was shown. My BA number never showed on my mobile boarding pass.

The points posted to my BA account automatically without intervention.

Recently I flew on a CX AM redemption but added my BA number for status. I was able to select seats for free but the BA number would never stick on the CX website, it always showed the Asia Miles number even when it came to check-in and on the mobile BP.

However, at airport check-in I didn't even go to a priority desk and the agent stuck priority tags plus my BA number showed on the paper BP.



I also have this strange problem with the CX website front page when I search for London - Hong Kong flights. If I type LHR or London in the "from" box, I am not able to select HKG in the "to" box and I tried with 6 browsers on 3 computers. But it works if I type LHR and select LHR/LGW in the "from" box.

It seems to me that the redeemed tix always stick with the AM account which was used for redemption. Actually you may add multiple FFP# to each reservation. That was why your status was recognized by the agent. But the main FFP# which would always be the AM acc which the miles deducted from

Have had these issues myself, and whatever doesn't work in other browsers (particularly the "empty" manage my bookings issue and "origin/destination issue") will 100% work with Google Chrome. Figured I share this after confirming it over the past two months (~50 logins/transactions)

I have a "registered account" which allows me to add bookings since I don't use my MPC account anymore. In the last day or so, my account has now lost all my bookings that I had entered and you can no longer add bookings to your account. Not really sure what has happened.

I faced the same error screen as #93.
Mobile App works for me too.

Checking-in via mobile app, I had no chance to put my FFP number on my record.
I had put them when I reserved seats in advance but now my record lost my FFP number.
I try to add it online they just return error as follows.

Unfortunately we were unable to record your Frequent Flyer number in your check in record. Please use the Add/Update Frequent Flyer function, or present your membership card at the Airport check In counter.

I used Add/Update Frequent Flyer function
I'm afraid I'm treated as non-elite flyer... I have OW Sapphire!

Edit: I confirmed my mobile BP shows I have no tier.

Does the mobile boarding pass on the back show you have access to the lounge?

I found that sometimes my tier doesn't show but in the Apple Wallet boarding pass it shows I have like access on the back.
