Can you provide an example from your experience? Seems like you're saying that you got the target FF program (for example, AS MilePlan) miles for flying on the source airline (for example, BA is an AS partner) by contacting the airline you flew (in this case BA) not the FF program in which you're seeking credit (in this example, AS).
Every time I've tried that, the flown airline basically says if you want partner credit, contact the partner.
