Mileage Credit AirBerlin Topbonus - Codesharing

Hey,

just noticed a strange mileage credit on my account. I always thought that there's no difference booking an AB-flight on an AB-code or an AA-code.
Both in Business:

XX.XX.2013 AA 8068 D JFK DUS 4.675 4.675
XX.XX.2013 AB 7249 D JFK TXL 7.916 7.916

Anyone experienced the same?

Topbonus generally follows the marketing carrier and not the operating one. This in contrast to most other FFP.

Thanks!!!!

What should I say - I missed my AB Gold status because of this. What a crappy rule.

That's really true,
you always have to take care of getting the AB flight number into your booking.
i had the same with DUS-MIA-LAS and back. DUS-MIA AB no. and MIA-LAS AA no.
Which is a mess in eco, as i'm TB Gold. On AA i would get only get 25% of 2179 miles on AA, with AB flight number you get 2179x1.4=3050.

Luckily enough TB Gold hotline was able to change flight no. upfront.
