I thought, oh no, serves me right. But page suggested calling AA, which I did. Phone answered on third ring, everything confirmed, and managed to just check it all on MMB aswell...I have to say, that aspect is at least 10 times better than anything I've ever experienced with BA (and have no status with either airline).tb

Providing your fare quote on aa.com was actually thru americanairlines.co.uk, and in GBP not USD, you could have taken screen shots of the aa fare quote, then booked on ba.com, and claimed the difference under BA's "Price Promise".

This would preserve the MFU option and the AMEX bonus.
