The reason for the BAEC been on the booking is that I want that account to get the Miles\Teir Points to allow me to build up status there, as I move away from CX.

So if I can just show the card then that should be fine, I am not too worried the other sapphire benifits except for the lounge access.
Word of caution. Because my employer is fairly strict with anything relating to travel, including FF miles, I have two AY+ accounts. One, OW Emerald, gets everything related to work travel. The other gets everything else. Bummer, huh? Anyway, year ago I flew HEL-LHR-MIA for vacation, so the flights credited to my personal account. In LHR I went to the Terraces Lounge, and showed my work card, which obviously had different FF number from the BP. No biggie, done that before many times in different locations. Only this time the lounge dragon changed the reservation to reflect my work account! I noticed this in the US, and changed the remaining legs back, but LHR-MIA went to the "wrong" account. I have no idea if this is the usual policy, but something to keep in mind... The tickets were issued by BA.
