I'm an Alaska MVP Gold and this question has been answered a few times on this page, but i'll ask again:

I currently have 2 bookings:

1) LAX-AKL-LAX direct flight on AA but codeshare as QF 3226/3227
2) LAX-SYD-AKL-SYD-LAX flights on QF but these flights are eligible for AS mileage purposes.

Option 1 is obviously ideal because i can select MCE and it's a direct flight, but it looks like it's a YMMV situation with miles posting to AS. Option 2 i can for sure receive AS miles but it's 5 hours more each way and i can't select MCE.

I saw someone mentioned that if I credit a non-listed QF flight (but AA flight) to AS, then it will count as AA and i'll still receive EQM for AS? is that the case or i just end up with zero miles and EQM if i credit to AS.

Thanks!
