I'm a "regular" on this route as it happens - checked in, got my boarding passes, flew to UK.... and a week later checked my account and saw the BA flight credited by bizarrely the CX one had not. So I filled in the form as you do, provided the ticket number and..... IT GOT REJECTED.
Due to "EXACT MEMBERSHIP NAME NOT ON FLIGHT PASSENGER LIST".
anyway I just looked at my airline ticket and BA didn't include my middle name on the ticket (in fact I don't even recall them asking for it). I assume thats what it is. I assume that CX will sort this out (i just sent them an email, because this is totally ridiculous).
But I'm gobsmacked they would do this to a Diamond. Gobsmacked.
