Hi all, I just booked a DONEx out of South Africa, and used BA's South African office to do the booking since that was what the online tool told me to do. However, I want to accrue the mileage from my trip through AAdvantage, which is my home program. I called AA just now to verify that I would get the mileage for the flights in the same way I would if they were booked through AA, but I don't really trust the information I get through them over the phone. Has anyone else used the method I'm describing to book and credited the miles to AA? Or do I need to cancel the booking and find a way to get AA to book it for me?

Edit: reading the AAdvantage rules online it looks like it shouldn't be an issue; with BA, for instance, it says "Earn AAdvantage miles when you fly on British Airways marketed and operated flights as well as British Airways codeshare flights operated by oneworld carriers and affiliates." It sounds like the issuing carrier shouldn't matter in that case. But I want to make sure I'm not missing something here!
