I had an AA domestic connection and international flight that posted between 3-5 days. I was pretty pleased too that the correct EQM (100% and 110% respectively) posted as I was flying AA on C space using the SWUs given to elites last year. I had booked a reasonable P/W fares and was able to utilize C space for the upgrades. Worried there'd be some sort of shenanigans on EQM not posting properly but it all looks good.

BA marketed on 125 ticket stock - BA (SFO >> LHR) connecting to AY (LHR >> HEL) departed SFO on 22 MAR 2023 and the flights posted on 28 MAR 2023. So around 6 days. Pretty decent and it was the 250% EQM as expected (A class to J class).
Im on the return today....same classes....i will report on posting...
I have another strictly BA flight in May.....of course i will post then.....
GIven the very good bonuses.....i think ill hit 100k by the end of June this year!

BA ticketed FAI-SEA-LHR-SNN RT for travel in February. AS/BA/EI respectively. EI flights not qualified for mileage. BA operated flights posted within a week of travel. AS flights still not posted. Emailed all relevant info to AS including BA confirmation and boarding passes.
AS response, “We will be forwarding the flight information to the partner airline for confirmation. You can expect the miles for eligible travel to post within 6-8 weeks, since we need to have the partner verify eligibility and then return the approved flight information.”
I had loaded the AS confirmation number to “My trips” and the itinerary appeared there. AS upgraded us to FC, could this be causing the problem? Or, the fact that both boarding passes FAI-SEA, SEA-FAI were issued by AS showing only the AS flight # instead of BA?

Paper boarding passes should say the AS flight number and then “sold as BAxxx” and they should know that since they are saying they need to confirm with the partner.

skunker, Interestingly the Alaska issued paper boarding passes did NOT state any "sold as BAxxx" #'s even though they were sold under a BA ticket number. However, when listed on "My Trips" the BA flight numbers were listed and present in addition to AS's flight numbers.

My observation is when you get a flight operated by AS but sold as the codeshare but credited to AS....its just goes into an infinity loop.

Never buy AS segments on codeshare if you credit back to AS.....all other situations seem to be fine.

BA ticketed (125 stock) - BA 6031 J class (operated by AY 1331 - HEL >> LHR) connecting to BA 285 A class (operated by BA LHR >>SFO) on 29 MAR 2023.
Credited on 04 APR 2023 mid afternoon (so i suspect the overnight clearing by BA as it was early morning GMT), so lets call it about 6 days. The same as the outbound.
All posted properly (250% EQM for both segments) and a ton more RDM with bonuses and 100k elite bonuses.
Total earned for the round trip - 32,600 EQM, 75,936 RDM (MVP gold 100k status)

Flew 2 AA segments yesterday afternoon. They both posted overnight. It could have possibly posted last night but I didn't check until 5:30 am EDT today.
