Another thing to consider is when you say 25k each, do you mean one way or round trip? If round trip, then it's 12.5k each direction per person. Under that scenario, you can book 2 one way tickets (12.5k x2) for the outbound out of A's account and then call in to have an agent book the return from both A & B. B would only need 2.5k more miles. Only downside is this doubles the change/cancellation fees if you end up changing both/cancelling entirely.

Note that phone booking may incur a booking fee, but if assessed I'd ask kindly if they'll waive it since you can't book from two accounts yourself.

Seems like I need to contact someone. Who should I even start with? LATAM or AA? Anyway to do this online?

Thank you very much.

BTW, I flew 3 subsequent LA coded LA metal flights, none had been posted.

Checked AA, everything looks good. AS app advises I need to call for manual assistance. I'm a few months out from the trip, any risk if I don't call in to AS at this time? Will the AS app eventually clear without a call in?

Thanks.

Technically, codeshares don't accrue to MP but upon a manual request AS will credit based on the Operating Carrier's charts when both the marketing and operating partners are both AS partners.

Create a freehand email addressed to [email protected] and attach a copy of your boarding pass.

To check eligibility of you LA coded flights click here. If they are eligible you can attach them to the same email for credit.

My AA codeshare was AA7718 (off hand couldn't find LA#). Will sort that later.
My other flights on LA are LA575, 576, and LA750.

Don't have access to a computer right now, will check later to see if these flights are eligible.

Do people here tend to have problems with LA crediting to AS automatically?

I have also had a domestic QF flight booked directly with QF and an AA international flight booked directly with AA that required manual intervention. Always good to watch and submit a request if the fligh doesn't post.
