This is certainly weird and not supposed to happen.
PS: I'm old-fashioned and use the abbreviation "MPO" (which is how CX writes it long time ago, not sure why though) instead of "MPC."
The flight was AA obviously, as it's inside us. And my ticket was from Cathay. I am not sure if the flight had CX code. I didn't see it on my ticket nor my boarding pass. Only AA code.
If I recall correctly. I got AM miles/MPC points automatically. I claimed miles for AA (not knowing you only get for one), the only option is using the ticket number. They did give me miles for the flights inside US and declined the other with a reason saying already applied to CX FFP. (I was not claiming for those anyway, as I knew I won't get those.)
