Hi all,

Long time creeper (as I had nothing of value really to add to conversations), new poster. Love FT and wanted to see if you guys could answer a question for me.

I just reached BAEC Silver over the past weekend thanks to a quick 2-day trip t SFO in F on AA giving me 120TP. Having reached Silver, which guarantees me OW Sapphire privileges for until August next year, I want to now attribute all of my upcoming flights to AAdvantage in the hope of reaching status with them by the time my BAEC status wears off.

My question is this - if I attribute my flights to AAdvantage where I don't have status, can I still get lounge access, the extra luggage and all the other benefits for being BAEC Silver? If so, how would I go about this as I know most lounges would just look at my boarding pass and allow/deny access based on the frequent flier program attributed to that flight (at least from my experience, although I may be wrong!)

Any help would be great,

Thanks!
