Still, always save your BP until they post.5 years ago 50% of the time you still needed to send the BP's to AF or DL - now, generally it still posts.. Interestingly, CZ is a problem still in my experience on DL, but on FB the miles post the next day. Very strange, but AFKL and CZ do have a JV.
Maybe it's just me, but their Web site doesn't seem to be very user-friendly. Poking around, I found they have an
"Eastern Miles" companion site, and one of the settings available through that site is "Identity Automatic Recognition," which auto-routes miles to a China Eastern FF account. I gather that setting it to "Non-autoaccumulation" is the way to go if you don't want mileage accrual via MU miles.
