thanks for this.
Actually it happens this way:
you do have a MM number which stays with you forever.
Once you reach FT, you are being issued another MM card / number. The FT has another valid MM number.
That is being considered starting your next flight.
I've actually reached my FT after my first F+J segment.
The return F+J was not considered as FT, but as base.
Next flight, even if it was booked when I was base, I went to the airport check-in and asked for my FT number to be considered.
They issued other boarding passes (paper) and my electronic ones were no longer valid.
The flight was awarded as FT.
I don't know what would have happened if I didn't visited the check-in: I would still get the credit for FT or just base?
It doesn't matter anymore though.
