WARNING - ex-MPM Prices are moving!!
Just looking at Oneworld prices ex-MPM
BA is now showing a DONE6 at a base fare of MZN495,000
AA is still showing it as MZN225,000
Looks like this party may be coming to an end
Get in quick if you're procrastinating
Edited to add:
In EF, the filing date of BA's new fares is 02AUG16

In EF, BA's new fares are:
DONE4 MZN357,060 (up from MZN162,300)
DONE5 MZN407,000 (up from MZN185,000)
DONE6 MZN495,000 (up from MZN225,000)
AONE4 MZN581,900 (up from MZN264,500)
AONE5 MZN669,900 (up from MZN304,500)
AONE6 MZN803,000 (up from MZN365,000)
Note: the "up from" base fares are what is showing in EF right now for AA fares ex-MPM
The new fares are more than double the old fares
However, given the way the MZN is falling against 'hard' currencies, maybe we all just have to wait little while until these new fares come back to what the previous fares were in USD terms
But, then again we know of currencies where Oneworld abandoned use of the local currency and started quoting fares in USD only.

If you are not ticketed NOW, you will have to pay the new rates. Agent T mentioned in the other posts stated that as of 11 am CDT, the new rates applied. I had a quote yesterday, but did not ticket it since I was informed it was OK for a few days. Oh well, I have my backup DONE4 ex-JNB.

In my opinion a delay by AA is doing its ticketing should not result in me being penalised by being charged the new fare.
Does anyone have experience of being in this situation, and if so what was the outcome for you?
headinclouds I think the quote you got would have words to effect "Ticket by mmm-dd", so perhaps you could be in the same situation as me.

I am waiting to see what happens with my ex-MPM DONE6. It was priced last week and I phoned AA's Sydney office on Friday and provided my credit card details. But it has not yet been ticketed and my credit card has not been charged.

You may be OK since AA already had the CC details. I had not given any CC info.

I just called and paid for my AONE4 that I booked yesterday. At that time the agent expected it not to be rated by fares until late today. aa.com showed a price (based upon the old fares) and said it was on hold, so called a few moments ago and provided payment at the price it was rated (based on old fares). Agent did not mention any potential price increases. It is now showing on request (which is normal) on aa.com.
Edited to add: About 10 minutes later and it is now ticketed at the price I expected (based upon the fares from yesterday).
