In short, it isn't the fault of airline XX, it is QF that is being stingy, since they are the ones providing the points in return for the commission they receive from airline XX and my patronage on them.
Now that the earning rate on BA has been reduced to almost nothing, all of a sudden it turns around and it is no longer QF that is at fault for the lousy earning rate, it is BA, since they are the ones providing the benefit.
EVERY SINGLE TIME I have tried to defend QF for poor earning rates in QFF on other carriers, stating it is the other carrier that sets the earning rate, everybody poo-poo's me, saying that QF is the culprit and it is QF that provides the benefit (via points) after receiving payment via the other airline.
Well, if that is the case, then in this case, WRT BA, then the six month rule should apply. QF provides the benefit (in terms of QFF points) and receives the off-set in payment from BA.
