Lets see if anyone knows

I am booking a AA flight using BA points.
If I am Alska Mvp Gold will i get 2 free bags?
The reason I think not is because its a reward ticket using Ba points.

If yes, will I be able to put in my Mvp number on a reward ticket?

While on such a great topic, any cc's out there that give free luggage when traveling AA or BA?

If it makes you feel better I flew a short haul AA on BA miles this past friday with 2 free bags and Priority access due to Alaska MVP...

it seems all ba award flights on aa get priority access as I got it when using ba miles on a AA flight
(also I never tried it but when checking my flight details on my yyz-NYC rt ticket it said I get 2 free bags not sure if it actually works as check-in is on aa)

There's an entire thread discussing that, basically its not supposed to carry through but sometimes it does.

Well most questions asked here can simply be answered by using google.
This one can't.

But I guess if it bothers you guys, I'll be more sensitive in the future.

Occasionally it goes through even though it's not supposed too.

So just bring the bag(s) to the counter, and hope they don't charge you?

Also, I asked already but didn't receive an answer, can AA gc's be used to pay the baggage fee?
