Could you please provide the name of it? I think I'd like to try upgrading a bunch of upcoming long haul flights scheduled for next year...
Thanks!

In this case, SAS says no points since it was a Finnair operated flight. Finnair says no points since it was a Star Alliance ticket.

It is not a problem of fault. The problem is that LH should pay for the points. They might be hard to convince, though. I would keep trying.
I think you fallen exactly in a trap between the two alliances. This should normally be the case that one of them pays, but the rules are incompatible here. One world requires a OW ticket (but you bought it as a *A codeshare), while *A requires *A metal, but you flown OW metal. This is a deadlock. As per rules of all programs known to me, you stand no chance in this case. It is a very quirky and unlucky case, I have to say!

I had a complicated similar case earlier with MH-stock, CX-codeshare on CA metal (rebooking from MH when crediting BAEC). In the end this actually credited to EB as it was *A carrier, but it couldn't credit to BAEC (I could credit MH-Enrich but no idea what I would do with a few hundred miles there!)
In this case as others have said, it is LH that need to be contacted. EB cannot per their rules credit you for a LH-stock reroute.
