thanks if used points the does that mean paying $55 to put miles back in account?

As long as that is the lesser option.

ba should have a link to aa, right after you book.
Or get your confirmation number from aa and then choose from aa.com

I did not realize that BA tax of 5.60 will come through as an international charge and I used my freedom card? what can I do? can it be changed? or what will it cost me? Thanks.

Firstly, they charge it in dollars so theres no forex fee AFAIK.

Secondly, even if there was a forex fee, its 3%, so youre talking about 17 cents.

you cant change a card unless you cancel the booking, which definitely doesn't pay to do so, especially when the entire foreign transaction fee is 0.16 to be exact.

Booked a flight using avois, linked my AAdvantage number synced with my AA Plat. Will I still be getting a free bag and priority boarding?

check online for a regular cash ticket @ orbitz, expedia, etc you'll see that your flights is probably still available to book enough seats,
sometimes they just don't allow you to assign seats on award bookings.

check back or you'll have it done at the airport.

I booked a ticket for my rabbi on my account. Is there any way for me to add my aa number to get him free luggage? Also there are only prefered seats available. Any way for me to get those seats for him? i'm willing to pay.
