Qantas won't credit for flight on LATAM Paraguay
Recently fly LATAM Paraguay from SCL to ASU return. Premium Economy and booked into W class on both legs. Auto-post in my activity box shows Qantas has credit me nada for the flights on the basis they are "ineligible."
Can't for the life of me figure out why - LATAM is a partner airline, the booking class is valid for accrual. All seems to check out on https://www.qantas.com/fflyer/dyn/fl...rtner-airlines
Any idea why? It is relatively important as I had banked on some credit for requal for WP before the end of October.

According to the footnotes to LATAM, JJ flights not wholly within Brazil don't earn on W class. While JJ is LATAM Brazil, LATAM is now also using the JJ code for other flights including your LATAM Paraguay flights. So denying credit appears to be correct.

Except the flights are ticketed as LA1324/5, not JJ

That can’t be the case - my boarding passes had my One World status on them, my QFF number, etc. I actually had no idea it was even Latam Paraguay as for all intents and purposes it was just a LATAM flight

the oneworld and Latam mobile websites are not as clear as I would like but you’ll find on the oneworld page of things like the qantas magazine a * with “Latam Paraguay is not currently a oneworld affiliate”
