Only suggestion I have is to hang on to your receipt and boarding pass. In 2005, I flew Quantas from Sydney to LAX on my WC segment, and USAir did not credit me with partner points until I sent in copies of both by snail mail. It was 7K miles to LA, a nice bonus in the mileage pot.

I know Karen is USAir, so this will matter. I've become a ff member of any line I fly on, and deposit those miles! For awhile there, it looked like Delta and US might merge, not so now, but I am saving those miles anywhere I can get them!
