Hi, I have recently traveled MEL - LHR in QF metal. I am QF platinum but want to credit to AA for the recent status challenge.
At the first lounge, the host insisted me having the QF number on the boarding pass, or I will be denied access to first lounge.
I think no problem, can just change it back to AA before boarding.

But when I try to do so later, the first host told me they already closed the flight so they cannot change the FF details without re-opening the flight, which they are reluctant to do. So now the points have landed into my QF account contrary to what I really need.

Is there any way to reverse the points from QF and then initiate the retro cliam from AA ?
Anyone care to comment on this ?

Red Roo, if possible, can you please clarify if this is possible and what is QF policy on accessing the first lounge ?
Ie. Does the Platinum membership has to be on the boarding pass or just the platinum card should suffice.
I have done so with CX no problems at all. Just show my BP and OWE card. No question asked.

Thanks and regards.
 
It is not generally possible to "un-credit" points and credit them to a different program once they have already been earned.

I know that the QF lounge staff in various ports sometimes like to insist on having your QF number on the BP to gain lounge access, but I'm not really sure that they have the right to refuse you entry to the lounge because you want to change the number on your BP. Obviously they want you to credit to Qantas as it will cost QF money if you credit to AA. But I don't think this is really the right way to do it.

Will be interesting to see how you go, but I wouldn't be holding my breath.
