Hello all,
I have an AA Main Cabin ticket on hold now for next week I might be taking from MOB-CLT-JAX. My BA account just updated today and I'm officially BA Bronze now which is OW Ruby. From what I understand BA Bronze members are supposed to get free preferred seats at booking and MCE at check in. For some reason though, AA is trying to charge me $32 to select a preferred seat on MOB-CLT and $20 to select one on CLT-JAX. My BA account is attached to the reservation. I used to be a status holder with AS and never had this issue, and I remember booking an AA flight the same day I got AS status back in May 2021 and had no issues getting the right seats. Does it take awhile for BA status to reflect on AA's end or what's going on here?
