I am thinking of the possibility to use my only Done4 doing two years of OWE status, with some of my own other business travels, to an easier program like BAEC.
My guess is that your luck at crediting the segment to another airline's FF program and also using an AA SWU will depend on the specific gate agent. My understanding is that AAdvantage prohibits getting AAdvantage benefits (such as an upgrade) while crediting to a non-AAdvantage program. If you apply the SWU and are reticketed, it's easier to then ask a GA to change the FF program for the segment, and hope the agent doesn't notice or isn't aware or doesn't care. One way to try it would be to ask the check-in agent to apply the grab and go, and then with BP in hand, ask the GA to change the FF program.
