"I am happy to say that any flights marketed by Qantas Airlines but operated by another airline, including Etihad Airways, is (sic) eligible to receive miles based on the booking class. The earning requirements would apply as if you were flying on a Qantas Airlines flight. Please visit www.aa.com/qantas to view the accrual chart."
From JonNYC at travelingbetter as of September 2013:
In addition, it's now my belief (and -some- of this was in this thread, but never as confirmed as I now feel we are approaching) here is where I think we are at:
QF
ALL QF #'d flights earn EQP/EQM/EQS, *except* operated by Jetstar (JQ) & Jetstar Asia (3K)

Qantas codeshares operated by Emirates: do you earn AAdvantage miles?
I apologize if I am posting my question on the wrong forum.
I was wondering whether a flight marketed by Qantas Airlines (with Qantas flight number) but operated by Emirates (on the Europe-Dubai-Australia legs) are eligible to receive AAdvantage miles, EQP and EQM based on the Qantas booking class. I need to know since I have to book a flight on the Europe-Australia route and Emirates offers the best connection from Brussels.
I know this issue has been raised before in the Flyertalk forum: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/ameri...solidated.html And AAdvantage itself seems to confirm that indeed one will earn miles as if you were flying on a Qantas Airlines flight.
However since that info dated from November 2013, I also addressed my question to the AAdvantage Executive Platinum customer service, and this is their answer (by email): "Thanks for contacting us here at AAdvantage® Customer Service. According to my information, a codeshare flight marketed by Quantas and operated by Emirates Airline is not eligible for AAdvantage credit. I am sorry to disappoint you."
Did Aadvantage change its policy towards Qantas codeshares operated by Emirates, or did the Aadvantage customer agent not have access to the correct information ?
Any help and advice would be highly appreciated.

Now, if you were to take the flight, not get the credit, can you tell them "jonnyc on the internet said so!"-- well, that might be a tough sell.
But AAdv at highest levels had/has confirmed that all QF #'d flights operated by EK -do- give full AAdv credit.
BTW, the thread you linked to has more recent info than the date you point to: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/22335935-post101.html

No worries. Certainly frustrating for me on my CNS-SYD JQ flight last year (JQ has a.m. flights on that route, QF doesn't) knowing all other airlines' QF codeshares do earn AA miles as if flying QF, except for their own LCC subsidiary. 
(Admittedly better news for those flying EY, TN, FJ etc.)
