Is it possible to change the FF program ?

Hi guys
When I booked my flight with Eva Air, I chose to put my Singapore Airlines frequent flyer number.
For some reason, I finally want to earn points on my United Airlines FF number.
Do you know if it is possible to change this?
I tried on manage my book , and this is not possible.
Thank you

Just ask the airport agent to change it when you check in your flight.

you can change your FF number during checking at desk, no worried.
I've done this several times before.

Yup, changeable as long as it's before your flight. I've called in before to change FF number or do it at check-in.

Is there a place online to add one - I bought flight on a OTA and can't seem to find a way to add FF#s on the web site which seems highly unusual.

I can't remember now. I think it was using the Eva Air site - will look again in a bit. Possibly used some other airline site. It's been a while now

I wanted to change the FFP of my upcoming EVA flight but there seems to be no option to do it online. If anyone finds a way, please let us know.

Hi guys, sorry to revive an old thread, I was wondering:
If I booked an economy class ticket and upgraded it to business using Infinity MileageLands miles.
Is it still possible to switch the FFP to TK to earn the miles there?Tried switching it via EVA's website and call center but no luck so far. Appreciate any advice or past experiences — thanks!

I thought they had a rule that if you upgrade using their miles, the flight has to be credited to their program? At least this was the case in the Evergreen Club days...

Keep in mind that it might not be the current rule so unless someone at EVA tells you it cannot be done, it definitely does not hurt to try it.
