Whether you collect Avios and Tier Points depends on the airline flight number on your ticket:
- If your flight code is British Airways, you’ll collect Avios and Tier Points no matter who operates the flight.
- If your flight code is for a oneworld airline, you’ll collect Avios only if your flight is also operated by a oneworld airline.
- For other flight codes, you won’t collect Avios.
The amount you earn is determined by the airline code you booked under.”
I'm aware what a codeshare is. And like I said previously the finer details have yet to be confirmed but I agree should follow this process assuming BA doesn't amend that wording in time for if/when this particular codeshare agreement comes in to force.
Believe it or not but the whole point of a codeshare from an airline perspective isn't about passengers earning status and miles. It's about providing a seamless travel experience from A-B via C. The earning ability is very much a byproduct of this agreement and yet here we are discussing the ability to earn Avios and Tier points on Mint Transcon before the application ink has even dried....
