Booking AS was a decision made by the corporate travel department. I'm not complaining, I like AS but flying out of PHX, I don't get to fly them often. But I just am not sure if I should credit each airline to its own program, all to AA or all to AS.
By "why switch", I meant why would you credit to AS instead of AA?
Unless you are going for status on the other carrier, it generally makes more sense to concentrate you earning on a carrier. Additionally, if you have status on AA, that is the FF number that is supposed to be in your booking if you are getting benefits on the flight. For example, if you are using your AA number for a free checked bag, then that is the number that is suppose to apply to that flight.
