So there are no flights from Sth Africa or inside Asia that are AA codeshares? That sucks! I just lost 15K miles I thought I'd get.

So I would reach PLT on the HKG-SFO leg with 1.5 points per mile (6922 x 1.5 = 10383) is that correct?

Is there a website with all the AA codeshare flights I can search through?

With BA and JAL and the rule that you have to qualify on AA codeshares, is it all still worth it? I get stung before the AA flights start and then soon as I get PLT I arrive in Europe where BA gives me the finger all the way back to JNB......
