I'm pretty much a high-fare flier. I could easily stick to AA trans-Atlantic and BA in Europe. Will AA let me have a UK mailing address or do I become subject to a whole bunch of new rules?</font>
If you are a high-fare, more than 3 annual transatlantic business class roundtrip, few if any cheap leisure fare trips kind of person, then BA may be the way to go, despite their changes.
You can have an AAdvantage mailing address in the UK, but some bonus opportunities and rules about mileage accrual on certain classes on non-AA flights change (for a little worse).
My recommendation to you would be to set up a BA Executive Club EU account (using a non-UK EU address) to put your Club World transatlantic flights in and put your AA transatlantic business fares into AAdvantage as long as you do enough AA transatlantic to keep Platinum status on AA and get Silver on BA.
Edit: Club Europe flights can be credited to either AA or BA Executive club, but I would add them to BA up until you get BA Gold under the BA EC European Union account, and then add the rest to AAdvantage.
