You used to get 25% on all BA flights as a QF FF, not there are some exceptions - And this of course applies to all flights on the way to Oz from Europe too, which is the flight to SIN in question.

As the change to 100% has been widely discussed here, in a few Threads on a few occasions (I started a Thread on it even - http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/showt...ghlight=status !) I didn't think I needed to write more than the shorthand that was my post, but as the OP is a newbie I'm sure he will find the additional info/clarification you posted of use.

And my BA e.g. was just to illustrate for the OP how codeshares can work, and why what airline code appears on your ticket matters for mileage earning etc etc, so am sure you were not trying to suggest anything different to that were you.
