"Linking" two separate PNR records is simply a comment - text - typed into a comment field saved in the PNR record. No automation reads the comment, but if a live reservation agent reads the comment, in IRROPS the agent would understand the relationship between the flights described by the two separate PNRs and might possibly take that relationship into consideration. That's it. No extra MQM/MQD/earnings of any kind - those flow from whatever the individual flights earn.
Disregard...found the answer. It is a no.

Tickets booked using ecredits earn MQMs etc exactly the same as cash.

When flying partner airlines and crediting to Skymiles (Skymiles number is on the boarding pass), almost every time I have to manually submit a mileage retro credit request and when doing so I include a picture of the boarding pass. After doing so and waiting for a week or two, I then have to contact Delta about the request. When contacting Delta, they say they cannot see that I attached my boarding pass with the request, every single time I submit a request. Then I need to email them a copy of the boarding pass again to finally receive mileage credit.
Am I doing something wrong?? It shouldn't be this difficult and time consuming. At least Delta has a iMessage option

You should fill out the form on their website to request mileage credit. Sending it to them via iMessage is not the right way to do it. It will take them up to 21 business days to process your web form. I have just completed a process like that with them. And I agree they should be automatically in the whole Skyteam like it is with Star Alliance

If you did not share your case number with Delta on iMessage they were unable to look. Also the Customer Support agents via social networks are not the same as those handling the missing miles requests (those are Skymiles agents). I did the same and was told all that and also that the processing time is 14-21 US working days.

I just ask on iMessage for them to transfer me to a Skymiles specialist and then when they tell me to email them a copy of my boarding pass, the miles are credited within 24 hours.

Yeah, they told me something completely different. By flying which airline were those miles earned? I flown Saudia.

First time flying internationally as Gold, which gives me SkyTeam Elite Plus, which in turn gives me access to SkyTeam lounges. I'm flying over CDG/AMS in Main cabin. Do I need to do anything to be able to access AirFrance/KLM lounges in respective airports? Will they automatically recognize my SkyTeam status based on my boarding pass?
