Spoke to call centre agent at KrisFlyer to input FTQS: NH *Alliance G and retain FQTV: SQ, the agent says she could only input a SQ number into the FQTS field. Kinda pissed though, individual fields but apparently the fields weren't flexible to accept various FFP numbers. In this case, should I retain FQTV to be SQ and give up on the benefits that I should receive from my NH *G? I do wish to have the miles credited to SQ KF. Argh! Gonna lose Check-in & Baggage benefits, Lounge access, etc??!!
Do be careful that no on changes your number on the ticket to the NH one. That happened to someone on here who accessed a lounge with their *G card but wanted to credit miles to a different program. The agent accidentally switched the # and the miles ended up getting credited to the wrong program. Just let the agent know not to switch it.
