Did a search on this and came up empty.

Thanks for any help.
Yes, you would use the US as the carrier and provide the actual flight number - credit will be based on policies for US. At least to me, the instructions on the form aren't unclear at all - in fact, for the airline, it is very clear, asking you for the "operating carrier."
