I've often credited an AS flight to AA with no issues, most recently in January.
The drop down specifically says " American Airlines". "American AAdvantage" isn't an option. I'm assuming my AA account only has one membership number - the 7 digit alphanumeric number. Does American have a 2nd account number that I'm not aware of?
