BA EC number into QF domestic booking?
I tried searching, but couldn't find the answer:
I'm a BA EC member in the UK, and need to book a domestic QF SYD-MEL-ADL-SYD trip in March (to watch some F1 and visit friends as part of a trip).
How do I get my BA EC number into the QF booking? I tried booking but it asked for a QF Club no, which I don't have.
Any advice?

BA EC, can Qantas see your status in the computer (no card here)
Can Qantas see your BA EC status in the computer ? I am in SYD for a few more weeks, and will take a few Qantas internal flights but don't have my BA card with me (Silver) and would like to acces the Qantas lounge in SYD and MEL ? Any similar experience ?

I'd certainly put your BA EC number in the bookings (as it will print out on the BP) as well as taking a copy of a print out of your BA EC membership screen dumps showing you as Silver. That's your best bet...but not a certainty by any stretch of the imagination.
At least the lounge dragons at SYD QP don't breathe fire as hot as the MEL QP one's.

I have yet to encounter a dragon at T2 or T3 in SYD. MEL opn the other hand, I think it is in the job description.
Anyway, just checked with SYD T3 QP reception, and they said that if the BA EC number is in the booking then the OWS status will appear on the BP. If for some reason it doesn't then they have access to the BA system to verify.
Whether or not the MEL dragons would be willing to go to such effort is another matter.

I recently took about 20 internal flights in Australia, all booked online using the Qantas website.
I too had the problem that you can only use a QF number, but I wanted to add my AA number instead.
Found that it was best done at check in. The miles posted every time.
Just to confuse matters I put my Qantas Club number into the web bookings, that way I always got priority luggage tags and preferred seating. You will get neither of these with your BA status in the booking. I tried changing the QF number to my AA number (platinum) a few days in advance for one of the flights and got a rubbish seat and no tags!
