Actually no miles between the UK and the US. As an AA member you still get miles for TATL flights UK-Canada/Mex etc.

If you hit LTG early in your membership year you still have a lot of WP to go so that might be enough to become EXP on AA.

Problem with that though (if I understand correctly) is that you have to lose the UK BA credit card, and you can't do things like transfer Tesco points etc (as both are 'UK benefits'), so is a loophole with strings attached (wow, what a mixed metaphor
).
Is BA really enforcing that as a non UK member you can't have a UK BA credit card? I have the same situation with other airlines and it works without a problem.

No, AA is currently not enforcing the rule.
The only other thing to consider is that BA looks after their Golds quite nicely. Gold I know regularly get upgraded from WT+ to CW just for being Gold.
