BA flight LCY-JFK booked as AA6200 codeshare will give buisness points (140)
or like BA booked F-points (210).Calculator on BA Webpage suggests 210 in both cases.Corrrect?Any Experience?

many thanks,

From the Dashboard:
In addition to accruing the requisite number of tier points needed for promotion to the next membership tier or to retain your membership at an existing tier, you also need to fly four qualifying flights during your membership year, irrespective of whether they earn tier points or not.

Examples of criteria used to determine qualifying flights from non-qualifying flights

1. BA metal + BA flight number = qualifying flight
1. BA metal + oneworld carrier flight number (other than BA) = qualifying flight
3. oneworld carrier metal (other than BA) + BA flight number = qualifying flight
4. oneworld metal (other than BA) + other oneworld flight number (other than BA) = non-qualifying flight
