And I once flew an award trip on BA and some miles appeared in my AA account. One screw-up on the carrier's part does not equal policy.

I was consoled somewhat when I saw the ~12000 miles credited to my AS account, even though I was not on the flight.

So this is totally not an option on US carriers? You must be present and check-in for the flight in order for the account to be credited the miles & elite qualification?
