2) I asked the agent, after booking the award, to add my AA FFN so I could enjoy the benefits of Oneworld sapphire status. She said this was not possible. Is this right?
1) Based on past experience they only waive the phone booking fee for MVPG and 75K members, even though CX is only bookable by phone
2) Don't bother with asking AS to enter your AA FFP number. You can easily do it using the CX website.
