Unless your trip can't be formulate from the airline's own website, or other reasons, you should always book your flight with the airline directly for your best interest.

Not only does BR accepts AMEX, BR's cobrand credit card is issued by AMEX.

Why would you say that, i.e. is there any reason why you believe it is not the case?

That means you will earn literally NOTHING if you are really booked into V or W.

AFAICT - BR does not offer so-called basic economy. Instead, they are simply the name for discounted economy and full-fare. You will still get all the standard perks.

2 hot meals with 1 small snack. Don't expect a lot about the food even it is a purported 5-star airline.
