Absloutely. Standard BA tier points. ( you will not get the BA tier bonus aviois though ( ie 100% avios for BA Gold). They post with no porblems for me.

Yes you can earn BA EC points when booking a CX flight on the CX website, provided that the fare sub-class is eligible for BAEC Avios and tier point accrual. See a list of eligible CX fare codes on the BAEC website (collecting Avios, partner airlines)

It's possible I am imagining this now, but on a recent CX flight when checking in I had options to select different FFPs for things, so one for status, another for crediting etc. I assume this mirrors the FQTV (frequent flyer program that the miles should be credited to) and FQTS (frequent flyer program for which status benefits to use) fields which exist in Sabre & Amadeus. However, I thought it was a nice feature to allow you to use two FFPs for different purposes on the booking rather than having to as a member of ground staff to do any changes of that sort.

Really? So you actually received Asia Miles in MPC and tier points with 0 Avios in BAEC?
I remember asking the question recently and someone on FT said it wasn’t possible to split miles and status points between FFPs. The furthest I got on one trip, I was able to get miles (and status points) on MPC, but the agent was able to record my BAEC status for F lounge access and Group 1 boarding.

The FQTS field is for status benefits, nothing more.
I am sure I was in a new style MMB when checking in for my CX flight. I wish I had taking some screenshots now. Maybe I did imagine it!

I think @KARFA has a point. I booked a CX ticket late last year, entered my BA details in one section but was surprised to find another field asking for some of other FF details. I scrolled past because it didn’t apply to me. Now I too, wish I’d taken and screen shot! Maybe it’s was a CX équivalent of On Business(?)

I just checked my current flight on CX that is open for check-in and there are no options for multiple FF programs for one sector.
