Getting Miles on multiple airlines
I did a search but could not find the answer. If there is another thread, please let me know.
I recently decided to change from UA to Asiana airline's mileage program based on reading info here at FlyerTalk. I took a flight last week from Japan to Canada on Air Canada and the mileage was credited to my UA account. Is it possible to get the miles on Asiana if I send them the boarding passes? Is it possible to change the credit to Asiana instead of UA?
I realize this is a long-shot.
Thank you in advance.

In theory, it's possible.
In reality, very unlikely.
You would need AC to first uncredited the miles. There are other threads on this topic in multiple forums, and from my memory no one has been successful.

There have been a few instances where I have changed FF #s at check-in (I made the reservation online and it defaulted to the FF plan I had in my profile, which was not the one I wanted to earn miles with) and had both credit, but that is the exception rather than the rule and I really get nervous when it happens because I don't want to cheat the system (and later face the consequences).
