PPS sectors for LH flight number on SQ metal ?
I'm waitlisted on SQ325 FRA-SIN because there's currently no availability in the relevant RTW booking class.
However, there was availability for exactly the same flight under flight number LH9764 and I'm confirmed.
Will I get PPS sectors for LH9764 or do I need to continue waitlisting for SQ325 ?
Thanks in advance for any replies.

No PPS sectors if booked under LH code. However availability on LH code suggests reasonable chance of clearing waitlist under SQ code since I understand unused codeshare seats will revert to SQ closer to departure.

There's now no SQ C bucket(?) (but still LH C) availability on my flight so not sure if availability will open up. One suggestion has been to try to switch flight numbers at check-in but I'm not sure how that'll fly - probably not. Still, I will take the flight with or without the 5 PPS sectors - I get the Raffles experience and there's always next time for the sectors.
Will I still get the SQ metal bonus ? The website says:
Does this mean flown on SQ metal OR flown on SQ metal and a SQ flight number ?
and there's always next time for the sectors.Will I still get the SQ metal bonus ? The website says:
Receive a 25% tier bonus on the actual number of miles flown on Singapore Airlines, SilkAir or Virgin Atlantic when you credit the miles to your KrisFlyer account.

The rules are inverting at the end of this month. Starting September 1st, no PPS Value will be credited for SQ flight numbers on other metal. It appears that other flight numbers on SQ metal will be credited.

Thanks, but my question has nothing to do with PPS Value. I am enquiring whether taking a SQ codeshare flight like SQ2000, and choosing to credit my EQM to KrisFlyer for such flights, do I get to earn the 25% tier bonus miles that is awarded to KFES, KFEG and PPS Club members? Thanks again.
