Thanks again all for the other clarifications! Very helpful indeed.
- Note that you can still pay for your buddy's ticket with your CC as long as you do not use your miles! But even then your buddy will not inherit any benefits associated with your CC. Of course, you will be getting x2 miles because of AA spend.
