AA says that for BA the upgrade is to premium economy not business. Expert flyer has c7 on the BA flights but nothing for premium economy

The AA flight have nothing showing they said they'd wait list me.

What am I best doing?
does it pay to buy BA premium cash and upgrade?

Check AA flights from other hubs?

But then I have to fly to the other hub? Or could I actually only use the sua for one of the segments?

Booked an Award on AA with Alaska miles. I guess my AA Advantage Number was not applied to the reservation and i have the Advantage Platinum CC. AA now telling me that the only way to get free luggage is if the flight is marketed and operated by AA. Any way to get them to refund the baggage fees?

Aa claims that you need credit card open for 7 days to get the free checked bag. How does this play out in practice? Can I get this sooner?

Interesting... I earned ~770k AA LPs last year and haven't gotten a call. I figured I'd get offered CK somewhere between 750-1M. I do hear that CK invites tend to go out around this time. Here's to hoping I get a call or an invite

AA vouchers given as compensation are transferable? Voucher doesn't say either way.
