In doing so, I would lose out on a large amount of PQP because the partner cap would set in, so I left things as-is and guess I'll book NH another time to try again.
As long as it is on a 016 ticket, the earnings should not change whether it is codeshare or not. I have never heard of a partner cap on PQP on 016 tickets.
