How long do BA, Finnair and Other oneworld flights take to credit to Qantas?

[SYD]

I think that's the point. BA would allocate avios/TP's based on the upgraded class, but Qantas doesn't. Typical Qantas I guess.

In my experience, that “C/U” Class has credited as J SCs in QFF. Pretty sure there’s another thread here on the topic. It’s been a while since I’ve done one, but 4 or more no issue.

Well maybe, but I wasn't prepared to take the chance, and as a BA Silver I could credit the points/SC's to BA.

Yep, if it came back with “U”, I’d be scratching my head also!

There is an argument to be made about crediting OW flights to BA even if you hold status elsewhere. In particular, BA is to my knowledge the only OW carrier offering a reasonable pathway to lifetime Emerald status. OTOH if your aim is just to get to Lifetime Gold with QF (a goal I'd argue is achievable for some of us on this forum), then it might make sense to take the gamble and credit it to QF. Everyone has their own preferences for these things I suppose.

More data points. Yesterday I took a total of 4 flights on Alaska Airlines as part of a mileage run. So far none of the flights have posted yet to my QFF account. Will keep you posted on the status of those.

Also if the mod could rename this thread to simply How long do Partner Flights take to credit to Qantas, I think this would appeal to a wider audience and allow us to share our experiences more widely on this issue.

AS take between 3 and 7 days to come across - must be something with the way they batch them.

There's actually a couple of existing threads - more about chasing up the points that don't come across.

More data points, this time flying American Hairlines (Operated by Qantas) and Alaska Airlines:


We are still missing one flight which I took on the 25th (SEA > LAX on AS in J) which would complete the LAX to LAX trip I took. Will follow up with them late next week via email if it doesn't post as I've got my BP proving the flight was indeed taken.

Final update: SEA to LAX segment on AS finally posted:

Finnair AY1337 HEL to LHR credited 4 days later.

Just took a bunch of AY flights, so let's see how long these take to post.

 

[drron]

BA flights credited to Mrsdrron in 48 hours. But then again at the ludicrously low QF rate for BA SIN-SYD.

 

[MH_fan]

It's been 5 days since my first AY flight (of which there were 3 in total) and still nothing in my account.

 

[tdimdad]

Give it two weeks. IIRC, they tend to do weekly crediting so it'll take a little while to show up. Last it took me five days to credit but it's also been a lot longer earlier.

 

[Notyourbag]

Any recent data points for Qatar?

 

[MH_fan]

First set of flights came through after a week. 8 days to be exact.

 

[SydneySwan]

BA flight on 29/04, points / scs posted on 06/05

AY flight on 09/04, nothing posted so claimed missing points and denied 'UNSUCCESSFUL - NO MATCH ON BOOKING NAME OR FLIGHT'. Complained to Qantas and points / scs awarded.

I find AY points rarely post without raising a claim.

 

[tdimdad]

AY flights credit for me in 90% of the cases. Sometimes a little slowly but they come through eventually. Perhaps they have developed a mild case of Qantasitis (TM), a habit of inconsistency.

 

[MH_fan]

Next lot of AY flights posted 5 to 6 days later.
Happy with that.

Has anyone got any datapoints for how long IB are taking to post at the moment?

IB post weekly - Thursdays I think, generally no more than 2 weeks post flight
