Or am I looking this in a too simple way now?
Again, you might be right. Maybe airline IT systems are improving and this earning on spend could actually make things easier.
I just don't know if it works in theory. For example let's imagine I buy a simple HEL-MAD return through a travel agent. But then 3 months before Finnair cancels the outbound and the travel agent rebooks me on HEL-ARN-MAD, partly on Iberia. Does Finnair systems still recognize the original fare and credit me points based on that?
