I have no MVP status currently. I am potentially flying a ticket SMF-SEA-SIN round trip with the first segment on AS and the 2nd on SQ. The ticket would be issued by SQ. The SMF-SEA segments would issue in "D" and the SQ segments in "C".
Am I correct to calculate that the total miles earned on this round trip (EQM and RDM) would earn based on the ticket stock (SQ) and not the metal? In other words the segments in "D" would earn 100% EQM/200% RDM and the segments in "C" would earn 125% EQM/225% RDM?
Or, would I earn on the AS segments based on the AS metal earning chart?
For AS ticket stock is irrelevant but the marketing carrier is important. Everything is segment-by-segment.
Is the SMF-SEA flight AS or SQ marketed?
The SQ marketed one (if it's SQ1733?) is outside of the eligible flight number range and also is not both marketed and operated by SQ (wording is different than for oneworld partners), so by a strict reading of the rules it is eligible for 0 miles. I wouldn't be extremely surprised if you got credit though, as pre-oneworld AS routinely credited flights that were marketed and operated by different partners even though the rules did not allow this.
If it's an AS flight number, then you earn according to the AS chart for that flight.
