Kathyb,

Award tickets do not earn miles. Ever. (Unless somebody makes a mistake.)

BA trans-Atlantic tickets do not earn AA miles. However, BA tickets connecting onward from London to another European point do.

Other than that, anything you buy with an AA flight number should earn miles. This includes deeply discounted Web specials.

Miles are based on what you pay, not where you fly. Upgrades don't get you more miles via class-of-service bonus or anything else.
