I've written to AA customer relations and told the EXP agents, but is there any way to get this escalated? I'd love to be able to use my miles on TAM in accordance with the terms of the program...
Unfortunately, this problem (TAM awards using AADv miles not showing up to AA, and definitely bookable using BA, etc., miles-- especially internal Brazil flights) has been going on, intermittently, for a LONG time. I've personally given up on it getting the attention it deserves and subsequently it getting fixed after trying several times.
