This has always been possible in the past, but I know that's questionable now and I'm wondering if there are any recent data points of people being allowed or denied.
If it's definitely no longer possible then I'll have to change my FFP# to BA gold, at least for the ex-HKG sector; but I really don't want to do this as I would prefer to accrue Asia Miles.
Doubt it will work. Had a valid CX OWS card at HKG Nov 2025 and wanted to credit no programme at all, since people recommended to retroclaim 2026. Not accepted. So now leaving CX. Not my choice. Theirs.
