Codeshare credit question
 

I couldnt find anything on this easily so thought i'd just ask the group. My corp travel agent booked me on the SEA-CDG flight as a Delta codeshare on Air France metal. The Delta flight number is not in the acceptable range but the AF flight is. I assume i still get credit (EQM's and all) on the flight because the AF flight qualifies even though it was ticketed as a Delta flight number? Am i correct?

See this thread for some others experiences:

Gosh, thats a long thread. And didnt seem to have a clear cut answer. So I called MVPG Customer Service Desk. She said without heasitation that the codeshare number doesnt matter. AS will always credit the metal you fly on as long as that flight qualifies. So in my case the DL number is irrelevant and the AF flight number and fare class qualifies so i get credited for the AF flight even with a DL number on my ticket that doesnt qualify.

If it doesn't post automatically, save your AF-printed boarding pass (be sure to stop at the AF ticket counter or gate and ask for them to reprint your boarding pass on AF stock, which should show the AF fare class) and submit a copy of that by scan/fax/mail to the Mileage Plan desk. That should do the trick, but there are a lot of convoluted restrictions and unclear rules when it comes to partners of partners of partners of partners... ;)
