Earning Airpoints on Aerolinas Argentineas Codeshare operated by NZ
I'm new to Airpoints having been a UA flyer for years where I have earned lifetime gold. And I am not familiar with the intracacies of codeshares.
I'll be flying in business class on an Aerolineas Argentinas flight number operated by Air New Zealand. Am I able to earn Airpoints on this flight? Or should I keep with UA earning?
Thanks for your input

Thanks nzkarit. Unless I misread it, I see this link provides information about earning Airpoints while onboard AR metal with a NZ flight number. I am asking about earning Airpoints on board NZ metal with an AR flight number. I'm guessing it is yes since flying NZ metal and to earn NZ Airpoints but I'd like to make sure.

You will not earn Airpoints flying on an AR flight number on NZ metal. The link mentions this.
This is no different to a number of the NZ non *A alliances / codeshare agreements.

I suspect your advice is incorrect. There is no other non *A agreement that doesn't offer Airpoints on a codeshare service. In the case of VA and CX codeshare flights on NZ metal, you don't get Status Points but you do get Airpoints. I suspect with AR, you will get both. AR/NZ partnership is not revenue sharing unlike with VA and CX.

I suspect if you contact NZ they would correct it and add your Status Points. There is no clear indication why you wouldn't earn Status Points on AR ticketed booking. This is not a cabin neutral alliance like CX and VA.
