However, this page https://www.aa.com/i18n/travel-info/...age-policy.jsp seems to suggest that as a OWE, I'd have 3 checked bags free.

Could someone kindly confirm if I'll get free checked luggage for such a flight? Thanks
You will indeed get three free checked bags in Economy on AA, even though there is no free baggage included on AA Economy fares for non-status passengers. It is very different from BA's HBO policy.
