Earning points on code-shares
I am planning a DONE4 to start in April, and am seeking to maximise my points. As QF Gold FF member I am entitled to a cabin bonus, and a status bonus on:
"Eligible Flights with a Qantas, Jetstar, American Airlines® or British Airways flight number. The Status Bonus for Silver Members will be 25% of the Base Rate, 50% for Gold Members and 100% for Platinum Members".
Given that I will be booked in D I will get the cabin bonus, but does a code-share such as CX889/AA6123 JFK-HKG result in a status bonus if I use the AA flight number?

Brilliant. Thanks serfty and my apologies to other FTers for asking such a an elementary question - but it wasn't clear to me from my reading of the rules and fine print.
