Points when flying on a QF codeshare operated by BA

[blusamis]

Evening all, apologies if this is a simple question. I have scoured the net and forums but couldn't find a clear answer. I am looking at flying NYC to LON as part of a larger itinerary and the best times are with a QF codeshare BA flight. Do I get points as per a BA flight or a QF flight if it has a QF flight number? If its at the BA rate I would be better off booking onto an AA flight with a higher earn rate. All thoughts most appreciated, cheers Sam

I don't believe any flights carry a QF code between New York and London. So that would mean you're either on an AA or BA flight and the amount of points you earn would come down to the class you're booked in.
Check out the airline earning table as a guide.

Thanks Elbarto, sorry I had managed to convince myself it was a codeshare! Along a similar vein, the BA flight is an Iberia codeshare and IB flights earn better mileage than BA according to the Qantas tables you linked to. Would booking it as an IB flight as opposed to a BA attract the higher mileage? Thanks!

Yes it would. A BA code will only earn you 0.25 per mile where as an IB code will earn you 1 point per mile. So that's a 75% increase.
