Sort of just answered my own question honestly. Just found this on the AA.com website:In some cases, you won't have to pay the fees for up to 3 bags when traveling on itineraries marketed and operated by American Airlines. If you qualify for complimentary bags based on your AAdvantageŽ or oneworldŽ status, the benefits are based on your highest status level at time of ticketing or check-in.

If your status level is:

  • Higher at ticketing than at check-in, show your ticket receipt to the airport agent
  • Lower at ticketing than at check-in, current benefits will automatically apply
Based on the bold, I should get Sapphire Baggage allowance showing my ticketed receipt. FYI for anyone else who reads this post
