Credit miles to BAEC or Asiamiles
Hi,
I am a BA bronze member and soon to be silver on my next flight taken. I usually fly 1 round trip from India to US in CW on BA a year. I am flying CX in J to PVG from DEL later this week. CX, on their website has a triple mile promotion for Asia Miles for flights from India. My outbound is before this date and the inbound is after. I was wondering if I should credit the outbound to my Asia miles account as my BA bonuses don't apply to flights on CX.
Can I credit outbound journey to one account and inbound to another? Would this be a smart way of doing it and taking advantage of the triple miles promotion?

Yes you can credit flights separately.
However, will you earn enough miles on CX to make use of them? If not, you may just end up with a small amount of Asia Miles that you have no use for.

You can credit different segments to different FFP's. I am doing this Thursday. You need to be 100% sure the correct freq number is each segment. Keep the boarding pass's until you see the avois/miles in the correct account on line.
Is it BA or CX freq flyer program who has the bonus? No-one can advise you if its better to credit to BA or Asia Miles. Depends what you will do with avois/miles and status. And be careful about avois/miles expiry
