I’m in the process of an Executive Platinum challenge, and was told by the EXP desk that benefits were only available with AA during the challenge, not with partners.
That being said, maybe it’s different for other status levels.
As such, none of the partner boarding passes display any status whatsoever, only my AAdvantage number.
I’ve just checked in to a domestic JL flight in Economy, bags weren’t tagged as priority, and I was told I had no access to their domestic lounge at KIX.
