For a passenger who is both a member of AirNz Airpoints and a member of another star alliance airline ffp, if the other airline's ffp number is entered during checkin for an AirNZ operated flight, where do the points go? Does AirNZ divert the points to the Airpoints account by default, or does the other ffp number entered during checkin prevail? Does anyone have any experience with a situation like this? Many thanks in advance.
Welcome to your first FT post as well!
sbiddle notes, AirNZ do not allow more than one ffp number to be used in an AirNZ booking. This is different to some other airlines. For example, Singapore Airlines allowed me to accrue miles to my THAI Airways account (Star Alliance Silver, TG*S) whilst recognising my AirNZ status for lounge etc (Star Alliance Gold, NZ*G).
They quite happily did his by using the exisiting functionality in the system to place my TG ff# into FQTV (FreQuent TraVeller = accrual) and my NZ ff# into FQTS (FreQuent Traveler Status = status benefits recognition). Indeed AirNZ used to do this as well, but stopped around 2012.
