More than 5 emails - they just refused both MarcoPolo points (requested based on the quote of a CX codeshare) and the Asia Miles because of the metal being

Their last response

Our airline partners have different terms and conditions to determine
which of their flights are eligible for the accrual of Asia Miles. For
Swiss International Air Lines (SWISS), Asia Miles can be earned in
eligible classes on routes between Zurich and Berlin, Brussels,
Florence, Geneva, Hamburg, Stuttgart, Venice on flight marketed and
operated by SWISS.

Having checked, the flight was marketed by Swiss International Air Lines but operated by Swiss Global
Airlines, it was not eligible for the accrual of Asia Miles.
Thanks for the feedback. That was very lame on CX's part, as I believe Swiss Global is otherwise indistinguishable from SWISS International Air Lines. Why was the ticket re-issued from CX*/LX to LX. If it was because of IRROPS, I think you can claim original routing credit.
