Missing mileage request rejected due to name arrangement

My wife made the missing mileage claim and it was rejected due to "Exact membership name not on flight passenger list". Now, I have the boarding pass, and the membership name is exactly what is printed in the boarding pass. It could probably be the name arrangement, you know, surname placement for chinese and stuff.

Anyone faced such problems before? And did you manage to get it resolved, and how?

Show name on boarding pass, and name on membership account. Send both to Asiamiles. And highlight in YELLOW or something that will stick out that the names are identical and if its anything else ... then its THEIR problem and they should sort it out themselves. And just give you the miles.

What you need to clarify however is that the SURNAME is the same irrespective and the ticket was not booked as name / surname instead of the other way round.

Hmm.. the name on the boarding pass is surname/name (as do mine) while the name on Asia Miles website is name/surname although it correctly addresses my wife as "Hello, Ms. [surname]".

Doesn't matter... cos the name on reservations/boarding pass is always surname first, / first or other name

The card will always have first name other name or whatever then SURNAME.

if everything matches, I don't see why Asiamiles would refuse you credit.
