Normally AA does not include upgrades that are purchased day of flight in the calculation.
One unknown in this situation is if the upgrade purchase will result in a BA flight code or if the ticket reissue will result in AA using the missing information method, in which case the percentage will apply.
You may want to check the terms and conditions of your challenge closely. Some challenges have required that the flights be AA marketed and operated.
Yep. Which airline’ ticket stock is essentially meaningless. Who markets the flight is important to earnings.

Most challenges allow JBV airlines (AA, AY, BA, IB, JL), so reviewing the T & CSU’s is important.
