How about the qr/ba codeshare (we have a qr flight number, but a ba-operated flight lhr-doh). A quick look would indicate alaska would definitely give more miles on the distance basis (125% vs 75% for ba/qr)
And for the sign-up bonuses, me and my wife would both sign up with the promo code, and then I add her as a family member? I gather the kid cannot get his own account and has to be added directly to the family group, right? Sorry for all the questions, there's so many variables here...
you may get better answer asking on the baec forum. i maybe wrong, but if your flight number has a ba code, then it is marketed by ba, and avios will be based on the price (probably the price they sold to qr? im not sure). if your flight number ha a qr code, then it is not marketed by ba despite being operated by ba. in this case, it will still be distance based. this is only true for baec and not for qrpc, so i dont think alaska is 125% to qrpc 75%.
you can read the t&cs (i did quick search but couldnt find the t&cs). but logically, they are giving you 5000 miles for signing up and flying with them, so i dont see why they would limit the bonus to 1 per household. in any case, you can always add your wife into the household after the fact. your kid need to be 18 to have his own account
