2. As AP*E, I chose the 50% Top Tier bonus selection. So, I would no longer get the bonus (non-status) miles accrued onto AP?
3. Are there any minimum miles that I have to fly on A3 metal to qualify for *G at 20K miles?
Thanks, in noob-vance.

Check A3 forum on FT
anyway...
1) during OLCI, at check in counter or at the gate, change your FFP # with A3. Very simple.
2) Correct, because now you are earning A3 miles. IIRC A3 reward chart is very similar, no or less scamcharges. Only down side is cannot change reward ticket once it is issued.
3) Unlike AP, there is no min requirement on A3 metal. Just 20k, and you got *G.
BTW, there is a 1k sign up bonus, so you only need 19k....

Again, go to A3 forum for more info. A few AP members already jump ship...
