I may apply for one soon, but I prefer to carefully plan my credit card applications. Any way, using the AA card will obviously accrue AA miles, which I will of course intend to use some day. However, as I have already built a "nest" in the BAEC system, I'm curious about whether my points earned during an AA redemption flight can be credited to BAEC.

I really do apologize if this question has been asked and answered. I was unable to phrase it in a very search-friendly way, I suppose, and was thus unable to find an answer.

Thanks in advance, and warm greetings to all of you.
