Claiming miles for each segment separately on different FF programs
I wonder if it would be possible to retroactively claim miles for segments of a PNR on different programs. To make it clear, imagine I am flying from X-Y-Z (Y is just a connection stop); All flights are in one ticket. Would it be possible to retroactively claim miles for X-Y segment in one FF program and for Y-Z segment in another FF program?

if no ff #'s in the pnr, generally you can get credit after the flights....
w/ff #s in the record....i don't know if generally you can change....
i have read of changing ba to aa or vv after a flight...

Interesting - I want AS miles on some AA flights to and within Europe, some of which are BA or IB metal. I am freaking out that I just won't get my status miles on AS because of this and want to put AA into the OneWorld segments. I am assuming that since this is all booked as AA this won't work. Thoughts?

Earning on BA for AS - http://www.alaskaair.com/content/mil...s/british.aspx
Note this text on BA:"
Elite Qualifying Flight Miles: No
To qualify for mileage accrual, please note that your flights must fall within the eligible flight number range below and your flight must be marketed and operated by British Airways"
Earning on AA for AS - http://www.alaskaair.com/content/mil.../american.aspx
Note this text on AA: "To qualify for mileage accrual, please note that your flights must fall within the eligible flight number range below and your flight must be marketed and operated by American Airlines.
American
Eligible Flight Numbers
0001 - 5599
6750 - 7199
7454 - 7603
"
I think you need to find other options to requal on AS.
