LH Codeshare --> PQM or no?

Hi folks,

Called twice and got different answers from two supervisors on this one.

If I fly (EWR-FRA-BCN) on LH fare class K it won't count for PQM. What if it's ticketed as a UA code-share flight on both segments?

Thank you.

No, MP awards miles by operating carrier & operating carrier fare class regardless of marketing carrier & marketing carrier fare class.

Well the supervisor disagrees with you and says yes for all LH code shares except K class.

If ticketed as UA K fare operated by LH then it would depend on what the UA K maps to in the LH system. Most likely that is also K so no earning. But until you buy the ticket and confirm that LH sees it as a K fare in their system that's just a (reasonably well educated) guess.

It's my understanding LH fares now map straight across to UA. Have you seen otherwise recently?

That statement is worthless. Phone agents routinely provide blatantly incorrect information about the MP program. But go ahead and book, then tell us how this turns out

OP, here's a thread that you might want to bookmark (chances are you will be posting there soon)
