If the conditions are that you can only earn the bonus in one program then that has to be coordinated somehow. For AA I had to register for the bonus. Assuming QF offers it and it works like past bonuses then I won't have to register for it. So, assuming I meet the requirements in both programs who is going to stop it being allocated to my AA and QF accounts?
I don't think there is anything dodgy about getting this bonus in more than program at all. You still have to meet the requirements for each program (like many of us did for the 100K bonus), so how is that dodgy?
