That's odd, HUACA.
Might try once more - but it would explain why the number wasn't being accepted either online with Qantas, or by the agent when I called them.

However, after Qantas were unable to add the frequent flyer number, I called LAN - have to say, no issue getting through to someone who spoke excellent English, and she helpfully informed me that you can only earn LANPASS kms after you have taken your first flight on LAN metal - only then can you accrue on one world partners! Hey ho, back to the drawing board to weigh up Alaksa and AA again! Thanks everyone!
What award trip are you trying to aim for ?

As your post above its complex

In points. BA charges just 4.5K and LAN even less I think.
AAAAh, I have 2 new luvs! Maybe...

Assuming you value km to mile as 1.5 : 1 (ratio used by SPG), then LA's cheapest is 4K.

I have thought of making LA my main program for domestic but after the nightmare just signing up for their FFP, and hearing other stories in that forum, I ignored them. I value the time and stress in making award reservations after this incident. BA allows online redemptions.
