Curious if anyone else has encountered this Spiderman meme: Partner is Iberia Gold (oneWorld Sapphire) but when booked on AA tickets, the status is reflected as oneWorld Ruby. Qualified with Iberia back in June and has had multiple segments on BA/IB reflected as oneWorld Sapphire. I called the EXP line to get AA to recognize the status, wrote to Customer Service via email and both said call Iberia. Called Iberia, and Iberia said call AA. Tried to access an AC in Miami on a domestic connection with the Iberia mobile wallet card as back up and were told that it was a "screen shot" and could not be accepted.

I recently cancelled the AA Citi Exec card, since I generally do not use lounges for domestic flights, and get lounge access for long-haul as an EXP/Emerald. And when flying together, we should get lounge access if desired owing to his oneWorld status. Why pay for AC membership or burn LP Rewards when access should be gratis...

Any thoughts? Thank you in advance.
