What is really bad is that I checked with American Airlines at least 2 times before the flight and was assured I could take 2 bags per passenger. I an still fighting with American Airlines. I will probably be fighting with them for the next 10 years.
If you were on AA codeshare on the MX flight, then the AA limit applies. If your ticket says MX instead of AA for the flight back then the MX baggage limit applies (and AA owes you nothing, except an apology for not alerting you to what you were buying). It sounds like you were not on the AA codeshare -- otherwise AA would have reimbursed you automatically for this error. Sometimes it makes a big difference what code you book with (even on the same plane!).
