If you had booked using your Aer Lingus account before the announcement that BAEC TPs would start to be awarded, you cannot change your loyalty programme or number online. I was in this position, with my Aerclub account coded into four legs MAN_DUB_PHL_DUB_MAN (and the PHL_DUB route being flown on AA metal withn an EI codeshare flight number). I used X(Twitter) to contact Aer Lingus and asked them to update it and it was done. It took them overnight to get back to my initial request, but after a few messages the following day it was done in less than an hour. It has also flowed through to the AA booking/PNR. For new bookings though, as @Papa.Lima.Echo says, do not log into your Aer Lingus account or you cannot select BAEC, it will only use your EI number. I presume you may be able to add the booking with BAEC number to your EI account after it is booked, but cannot prove that at the moment. May be able to test it later in the year when I expect another similar US trip to ORD.

You can change the number of the programme you wish to credit to by simply speaking to a check-in agent at the airport.

I've also just booked a P class fare. Did anyone find out if it actually earns or will I have to have some long conversations with BA customer services?

I am just about to board my I class flight to DUB with the return in P on Tuesday. I will advise what posts as soon as I can. I am wholly expecting the P class to get nothing as it's not on the earning table (despite in my case being the most flexible ticket available).

“ c) The booking must contain British Airways flights including codeshares and British Airways marketed and/or operated flights only. Flights not meeting these criteria within the booking won’t be awarded Tier Points. Flights offered as part of a British Airways Holidays package that are provided by other airline partners that do not have a BA flight number will not be eligible. Please note: Flights marketed by British Airways with or without a BA flight number that are operated by Aer Lingus, China Southern or LATAM are not eligible for Tier Points.”
The T&Cs for the UK edition of the British Airways Holidays Double Tier Point promotion were updated a few days ago (26 April 2024). The good news is that Aer Lingus flights marketed by British Airways with a BA flight number are again included in the Double Tier Point Promotion.

Getting up to speed with the Aer Lingus TPs. Am I right in saying this list (flight is MAN-DUB), only the AERSPACE option would attract 40TPs?

Just as an update. I travelled BHX-DUB on 1st May on an 'I' class Aerspace ticket. Nothing has posted to my BAEC account yet.
When looking at claiming missing Avios (/TPs) on the BA website, Aer Lingus doesn't appear in the standard flight claim airline list and requires you to complete a separate table which you can't submit until 30 days after the flight.

I'm going to be road-testing this next week with an Aer Lingus flight in I class. Changed the frequent flyer number during OLCI as it was originally crediting to AerClub.

I will be interested to see how this pans out as I have an AerSpace jaunt to SNN and back later in May to help things for TP year end and try out the 321LR business seat. Added my BA Exec number at booking and checked with EI that's what they had against my frequent flyer number for the booking, so I would hope that all posts automatically without too much delay.
