Transatlantic Elite Points & Code Share
Hi!
I normally qualify each year via the European CO Transatlantic Elite Points system (1 point given per crossing, 5 for silver/10 for gold/15 for plat).
Does anyone know if these are given for codeshare flights on UA metal booked via continental.com?
I assume they aren't given for flights booked directly as UA flights (or any other *A partner) and credited to a OnePass account but if someone can confirm that too it would be great to know for sure.
Many thanks.

Pretty much all the earning rules are based on the operating metal of the flight, not the booking code or booking channel. Based on that I'd bet against the TATL points counting on UA metal, even if booked on co.com and with a CO flight number.

Thanks for the reply! I flew 49.5k miles last year so TATL points were pretty important 
Mind you CO/UA codeshare pricing is great for last minute flights. Under $600 including taxes to leave tomorrow LON->NYC RT makes a lot of extra flying practical.
