The ba site says you earn 30 points for a direct flight in my class of travel or 20 points for the 2 legs (which i received).

Normally would not be an issue but it leaves me 10 TP short of renewal.

Ah I see the issue. BA.com says SEA is worth 30TP on AA but as you say, AA don't currently fly that route direct. And for some reason SEA-DFW and DFW-TPA only earn 10 TP each. Often this works in your favour (eg LHR-SIN + SIN-SYD = 240TP in J but the direct flight only gets you 220 TP) but in this instance no. If you had two separate flight numbers then you got the TPs that BA.com says you should receive.
