Can I elect to earn BA Avios when flying Qantas?

[RC101]

I’m a newbie so forgive me if this is a very basic question (and if I haven’t found the answer elsewhere in the site – I have looked!).

I am flying with Qantas with the family to Australia later this year. I have booked and added the BA exec numbers for us all. I was looking to download the Qantas app (for boring reasons I have 3 different booking references and it would be easier to have it all in one place). However I need to join QFF in order to use the app and am worried that will mean I will accrue QFF points which are not part of my plan.

My question is whether I can elect to earn BA avios even though I would be a QFF member? I seem to recall you can do this with BA (not that I have needed to).

If anyone knows I would be very grateful for a steer.

So long as the frequent traveller number on your booking is the BA one, that’s where points (avios) accrual will happen. It doesn’t really matter that you opened a QFF or any other oneworld account, as long as it’s not listed as the FQTV account for your booking.
