Oddly my bag was tagged with a priority flag/sticker so maybe they do think I’m sapphire?
IT systems confused - not updated?
So booked the award from your AA account? OW Ruby at the time (That lowest status gives little benefit).
Have read of FT AA reservations AA flights uses best status at time of booking or status at time of booking.
Other airlines have more focus on status at time of flight. But old status can stick/cannot stick.
