Air Canada Tango fare with MileagePlus
I'm about to fly AC sea-yvr-pvg-yvr-sea in fare class N, K, K, N (tango). From Air Canada's website it looks like I'm only eligible to earn 50% of miles. Would I be better off using a MileagePlus number for these flights, or would it be 50% as well?

Based on those booking classes:
On Aeroplan, you will earn 50% Status for all segments.
On MileagePlus, you will earn no miles on the SEA-YVR and YVR-SEA segments, but 100% status on the YVR-PVG and PVG-YVR flights.

Dont be greedy. In my experience, the AC agent will undoubtedly mess up changing your number for YVR-PVG, and it will credit to Aeroplan (at 50%)

Possible, yeah, but as stated, there's a very good chance something will go wrong at some point.
