Applying Miles across all Skyteam
I am Gold Elite with NW's Worldperks......fly them 80% of time, CO 20%. However in February I will be flying VS from EWR-LHR. I have an CO Onepass number which I provided to Virgin when the ticket was purchased. (VS is an airline partner of CO, but not a Skyteam member).
So my question is : Will I be able to earn Onepass miles on my VS flight, and if so, can I then redeem those miles for award travel on a Skyteam airline? (The VS ticket is Upper Class if that matters).
Thanks!

Technically you should only get EQM if you fly on CO ticket instead of VS ticket. I flew a JL/AF codeshare on JL ticket and only received award mileage, but no EQM. The next time I flew a JL/AF on an AF ticket and was able to get EQM towards status. However there are glitches in the systems, and you might get EQM on a VS ticket anyhow.
