AY/TP codeshare mileage credit
Hi there,
I will be flying HEL-LIS-SFO. Ticket was purchased with TP; my ticket starts with 047. My OZ number is on the entire ticket. HEL-LIS is operated by AY. I called Finnair about the mileage credit for the HEL-LIS segment and was told HEL-LIS will be credited to OZ because the flight was sold and marketed by TP. Does that sound right? Or should I present my AA or AS number when I check in at HEL?

It is right insofar as the flight is not eligible for Oneworld mileage credit, since it is not marketed by a Oneworld member. In other words, from Finnair's point of view, TAP is responsible for mileage credit.
If TAP were a SkyTeam member (like AF and SU), this would actually be correct. But since TP (also CA) is a Star Alliance carrier, there will presumably be zero credit as per Star Alliance rules, as reflektia already noted. You'd better check on a Star Alliance forum though.
If you have status with AA, then you might be able to enjoy some status benefits by filling your AA number at check-in time. That's if Finnair.com even lets you check-in even though it is not the operating carrier for the first flight.

How about earning AS miles on the AY operated segment?

I guess you would've known if you would've read the rules of your frequent flyer program.
