AA post 4/28
I'm still not 100% clear on AA coach earnings. It looks like H has been downgraded to 'Discounted' - I thought it was flexible before. There is no mention of tier points except it says Discounted earn 50%. There is no mention of Lowest but I assume it must follow the same pattern as BA. The calculator still only lists Lowest and Flexible for AA with H still explicitly called out as flexible.
If anyone finds out for sure it would be good to know.

I realize it's probably too soon for people to know for sure but hopefully someone will soon.

When I looked this morning the calculator didn't look like the above. It listed all the fare codes for all booking classes, although I wasn't logged in to my account.

I've searched back through my BAEC statement as far as it goes, which is 3 years, and I have AA flights in September 2012 onwards in H fare crediting at the half rate.
