if I book a paid ticket on aa with a aa cc does the member have to fly to get first checked bag free? or is that only united?
yes with AA you just need to have the card to get the free bags, you do not need to use it. But the cardholder must be on the itinerary to get the free bags

But if cardholder isn't on itinerary, even if booked with that cc it won't help?

$150, but I think you get a 24 hr grace period.

If there are saver seats available, why not?

+YQ
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

Ah that's the catch. Only UA doesn't charge YQ? What's the next best option?

Yes. Here is the SQ partner award chart.

Depending on the specific partner, Aeroplan can be lower then SQ for YQ (although the mileage is more, 82.5k for OW). Or use 80k UA for a OW.
This chart has estimated YQ for bookings.

NH has no YQ on AC, LH has none on LO. Etc.
