Dave's assertions in his reply are as he quoted to me; however I have previously tried (and it didn't work). However, different time, different circumstances.
Best of luck with changing them before the trip and hope it works.
It does work; just verify with facilities such as checkmytrip that the old numbers have been removed and the AA number added. Don't leave the QF number in the booking, it is just asking for flights to get credited to the QF scheme
iirc, you were trying to credit some flights to QF and others to AA rather than only having the AA number in the booking and crediting all to AA
Also, when signing up for the platinum challenge, do not phone AA in Sydney to do it. Call the US office on +1 800 843 3000 . On answer, press 0 , when it asks for your Advantage number say AGENT, when connected to a real person , ask for Aadvantage Customer Service.
Also, call back a day or 2 later and just verify that the person did add it.
It has worked every time I have done it for people
PM me a booking reloc and I can set it all up.
