I don't suppose there is any way to credit this to NWA while still getting the bonus mileage?
I thought about that, too. I'm going to guess no, since your NW FF# will make you ineligible for the DL bonus miles.
In the past, I've tried to use my NW# for DL upgrades, but still credit to DL. It didn't work, since they'd have to delete my DL# to enter my NW# for the upgrade, then I'd be kicked out of F when they re-entered my DL#. This was for a DL mileage promo. I took the miles.
In the end, upgrades and promos aside, it doesn't matter anymore to whom you credit your miles. It'll all be the same in a few months.
