AA's ticket numbers begin with 001- and CX's with 160- (or 043-).
In my experience AA miles on xONEx segments flown on CX take some time to appear. A call to AAdvantage Customer Service usually clears it up. Hopefully you retained the boarding pass.

Does pre 1st August earning count towards the cap?
Is there a difference between theory and practice (e.g.: yes there's a cap but they likely won't apply it in XYZ circumstances).
Any clues on if even AA knows the answers to these?
Sorry if this is the wrong thread, was the only place I could find discussion of it -- albeit from some time ago.
AA has been hiccuping on the rollout of the rules regarding EQM and EQD metrics on partner fares. I think it's still too early to know, and I doubt very much if anybody in the RTW group, or in AAdvantage itself, knows enough about it to say anything definitively. Look here (airline by airline) for EQM/EQD figures (post August 2016) -

My own conclusion, based on what I'll admit are probably "worst case" suspicions, is that using RTWs as a fast-track method to earning or retaining AA status, or as a way to build up a big batch of redeemable miles, is over. I'm seriously looking at *gasp* BA as a possible alternative, even with the dire surcharges and lousy redemption rates for many routes.
