Thanks!!
I'm not fully up to speed on all the flavors of AA business cards, so you may be better off asking this question in the AA forum. My understanding is that you only get 1 LP per $ with AA cards, regardless of category. The additional miles you get are bonus miles, not LPs. So while my AA Barclay's card would give me 2 miles per $ at Marriott properties, only 1 of those would be LPs. This is why I use my Bonvoy Brilliant card when staying at Marriott on personal stays to get the 6 Bonvoy points per dollar. Sadly on business stays I have to use my corporate Amex card so only get the measly 1 MR per $.
