1. Am I correct in my reading of AA policy that I should not have been charged?

2. If so, what’s the best way to get refunded? I submitted the contact us form & seemed to get only an automated reply back.
Try entering your ticket information into http://prefunds.aa.com , I think (though not 100% certain) you can apply for incorrect baggage refunds there.
