As I note in that other thread, I had a massive change to my DONE5 after the AA metal flight (changed routing and changed continent), so it's hard to say if its a codeshare quirk or the big change to the ticket.
Thanks again!
When did your JFK-HKG AA coded/CX metal flight take place (trying to figure which set of rules applied).
I've read through the above link on AA. There seems to be no clear answer. AA does not want to publish how they calculate credits! Sad!
