Not sure what ba Metel is but if I want to check on aa which flights are bookable with ba points for buiz/first- is it business saver only?

That.

BA (or any airline) metal  means their own flight, rather than a partner airline.

Being so sick of BA long wait times, I DM'ed BA on Twitter and was able to cancel my award booking. It's a little slow depending on the time of day, but it was slot better than waiting on hold for over an hour. Hope that can be useful to someone else!

I see Economy MileSAAver available on AA , but it doesn't show available on BA, I tried calling, nadda, any idea?

HUCA should work. Try to give them the exact flight # and times.
Just make sure its still available in Saaver.

HUCA...HUCA...HUCA...

I already called four times & no success, there's actually a couple of MileSAAver flights available on AA for the specific date & they still aren't seeing anything! Any other clue?

make sure they are non stop, they have to be non stop on AA

Not sure what you mean, but BA can book AA flights that are not non stop.

It is indeed non stop on AA I Eden all the non stop flights, still not available on BA.

weird, if its available on AA.com as a non stop flight, you should be able to call BA to book it

What's difference does it make if it has a stop or not?

the non stops would show up on the website, the stops would have to be booked on the phone as BA charges per segment

Or you can just book each leg individually on the website.

is there a window after booking that you can get the taxes back too?

within 24

Note that you have to call to cancel a flight within 24 hours of when you booked it.  There is no fee for award cancellations done over the phone if they were booked within the past 24 hours.

why would you do that? it costs more..

take.. LGA-ORD-PIA for example. if booked separately

-1 (unless you're referring to the extra $5.60)

[Chapshnell]

You can say -1 all you want but try & book 2 separate bookings LGA-ORD & then ORD-PIA & tell me what the cost is 
hint.. its not 7,500

@coralsnake is talking about booking a flight that requires a stop because a non stop isn't available/doesn't exist.

the non stops would show up on the website, the stops would have to be booked on the phone as BA charges per segment

Or you can just book each leg individually on the website.

So therefore what you said -

why would you do that? it costs more..

take.. LGA-ORD-PIA for example. if booked separately

Gets the following response -

-1 (unless you're referring to the extra $5.60)

(as a side point, your example of LGA-ORD-PIA is a bad one, because no direct flights exist LGA-PIA)
