They have replied that its not possible, it must be under AA.
Is this because it is a BA AONE6? would it make a difference if I re-routed through Qantas?

YVR-SFO is operated by AS with an AA codeshare (thus never eligible for OWE travel); the QF SFO-YVR-SFO service can be used, but it is seasonal (operates July/August and again in December). You could fly your 4 segments on that flight. Otherwise QF codeshares on AA can only be booked as part of a ticket that has QF flight trans-pacific (which you obviously do not have), and the same applies to QF107/108. You would have to fly QF to or from US to book any QF flight or codeshare in NA.
But, if you are flying AONEx, there is little benefit for having WP status, and you still get credit for lifetime SC. So it doesn't seem to be of much impact to you if QF refuses to renew WP (other than loss of the status bonus).
