Inelligible Flights on BA
Posted this in the BA forum as well, but the basic idea: I flew on Aer Lingus, BA did not give me any credit for the flight because they are incredibly stingy about elligible fares.
So, can I turn around and try to get credit in my AA acount, or will they be aware that I tried and failed with BA?
At any rate, my purpose now is to get my measly 10,000 BA miles, get a free flight, and be done with their horrible program for good. Big mistake joining in the first place, I should have stuck with AA exclusively.

It would work as long as the flight wasn't a transatlantic flight. You can't earn or redeem miles on AA for BA transatlantic flights, and vise versa.

I believe it would work, obviously having the original BPs would help. I believe the fare classes have to be B,H or K, if the ticket was discount economy.
Good Luck

I did this a few years back trying to credit some JL flights to QF and then AA. They were eventually credited to AA (can't remember why it didn't work on QF, nor why I tried there first). It did require quite a lot of follow up phone calls to get it done tho.
