OW booked in *Alliance - what to do?

I was all ready to complete my AA Platinum Challenge on upcoming international travel and corporate travel booked me on SAS!

My only *Alliance participation is 6000 orphaned miles with US Airways and 0 with United. I am AA Gold.

Do I understand correctly that if US Airways and United match AA Gold status, that US Airways will provide 50% mileage bonus whereas United only provides a 25% mileage bonus on * Alliance partner flights (ie, SAS)?

If so, I will see if USAirways will match and maybe get enough miles via SAS for an award ticket from USAirways. That is, unless there is a way to get/move the miles into OW?

Thanks.
