Will flight [segments] on other Star Alliance carrier count towards gold level?
New member, first post. Tried searching and sorry if this is common knowledge to all. 
I'm trying to get to EB Gold level by number of flights (45) and not points. Wondering if flights on other SA carriers (this case Lufthansa) qualify in that category?
Thanks!

Checking my points balance, it looks as if the *A flights are counting for basic points....but it could just be SAS dodgy way of showing it...

*A flights should count as Basic points and Award points (although you won't get your 25% EBG/EBD bonus). I usually qualify for EBG (by points, not segments) with only 50% of my flights on SAS. I would not manage EBG if *A did not earn Basic points. *A flights just won't count for qualifying by segments as those need to be on SAS flights.

You do get basic points for flights on other *A carriers which are qualifying level points. The flights just don't count towards qualification on number of segments, such as the 45 for gold.

To be clear, you can certainly qualify for eurobonus gold without ever flying SAS. Points on LH for example (while miserly) are basic points and thus get you towards your goal.

Hi OP,
You asked about qualifying with legs flown (45). These must be on SAS or direct partners as mentioned.
See second paragraph here:

I see there's a lot of confusing information in this thread, but not everyone speaks English that well and they may have simply misunderstood your question.
