That's interesting, and of help for those codeshare bookings you get where one or more sectors are on BA and others are on a non OW airline (I've had Asian and SQ flights that involved a BA sector for a UK domestic, or for a first sector to Europe. Previously I have tried to change FFP at the airport pre/post such sectors.
I missed your 2019 post and it is interesting that FQTS is not validated (you would think that it might be validated in the same way as FQTV by design, since it is for status) and this may explain why some airlines don't use it. I've found that a lot of Star Alliance airlines will use it and I have several BP with an FQTV showing (with full membership number) for earning while another *A airline's status is shown on the stub (XX *G, without a number). I have also had NZ lounge staff add my status FFP number to a booking as FQTS and give me a new BP to be able to scan it to enter the lounge. SQ I think use FQTS for PPS tracking, but I have also had SQ BP with two FFP showing, one for earning and one for status.
I've never tried seeing if BA agents would enter FQTS data BA BP's don't seem to be designed for this, and since tiermaggedon I have been trying to ensure the BA number is deleted from my bookings before entering the RJ one. Something must stick though as my BA bookings are still visible in my BAC account.
