Crediting flights on same itin to multiple *A accounts
I searched but couldn't find an answer anywhere. I will be flying UA TUS-LAX-CLD and would like to credit the TUS-LAX to UA MP and LAX-CLD to TK M&S.
Some questions
1) Is it possible?
2) If not can I credit the whole trip to TK and still get the complimentary upgrade using my UA status?
3) What do I need to do to get it done?
Thanks for your help.

Others with more experience in this regard can illuminate better than I can, but when I flew IST-LAX, I was able to switch my FFP from UA to CO while checking in my bags in IST.

Nowadays, I don't think you can credit to one program and get benefits from another. In the past, PMUA had two frequent flyer fields - one representing status, and the other for FF credit. However, going back a couple of years, it became harder to do this, think they got rid of it after a while.
If you leave your UA number on the reservation for the first flight and switch after, in terms of upgrades, I'm guessing any advance upgrades would stick. However, I suspect if any upgrade comes down to a gate list, once you take out your UA number, you will be removed from the list. This is just a guess, though - no presonal expereience.

In the past, I tried to credit the longer flight to CO and swapped out the FF# at IAH President's Club for a short hop (IAH-DFW) to BD (BMI) for 600 minimum miles. The problem is that all the miles for the trip would get posted to the BD account.
I could change the FF# on PMUA reservations at the kiosks inside the terminal and they would get posted to the correct account for each leg.
Anyone else have the same experience?
