So a oneworld Emerald gets three free bags (but other passengers on the reservation do not), and a credit card holder gets one free bag. Between the two of you, you have four free bags plus one free case of wine. (Only the Mileage Plan member gets the free wine case.)
We flew yesterday. When checking in on the app, we did indeed get 4 free bags, 3 for my wife (AA EXP) and 1 for me (AS Visa cardholder), even though we used my wife's AS Visa to pay for the tickets. Didn't need to use the "free wine" option.
