I’m always a bit uncertain about how miles credit when flying on a codeshare and wondering if anything’s changed now that Alaska’s joined OW. I’d really appreciate if someone could ELI5?
For example, booked into “I” on an AA codeshare that’s on BA metal (AA fare & ticket). Not sure if that credits at the AA or BA rate? (150% vs 250% RDM)

Basically you earn based on the marketing airline, as long as the metal airline is a Oneworld partner.

AA violating agreement to upgrade AS Gold 75K
What is the AS phone number and email address we AS Gold 75K can use when AA refuses to upgrade us?
As OWE, we are entitled to space-available upgrades on AA. Additionally, the AA website states that AS 75K get CU.
Twice I have been the only person on the AA upgrade list. Twice I have been denied upgrades.
I emailed AA and they said "Upgrades are at the discretion of the GA". That is not what the website or agreement say. That means someone noneligible got a complimentary upgrade, like a non-rev AA employee.
AS pax are being mistreated by AA.

I've done a couple of searches in vain. I am sure this has been asked before, so please bear with me.
I am AA EXP, how do I designate my AA FF# onto my AS account. I want to earn AA credit when flying on AS metal.
Thank you!

You can also add it prior to booking in the “Profile and Settings” section of the website. Click your name in top right, overview & elite status, scroll down to bottom left, travel preferences, programs.

I wish the AA lounge employees could handle the upgrades. I love both the AA and AS lounges.
According to AA "customer service", gate agents can do whatever they want with upgrades, including ignoring AS Gold 75Ks like me.

On the passenger info page when booking, there’s a drop down box labeled “Mileage program and number”. Click “add mileage program” below it. Enter your AA # and click continue.

AS Award availability from any US City to Rome in any class has disappeared entirely for AA after April 30, 2022. I can't believe it is all booked out. Is this related to the OW Conversion?
Thanks!
Thanks!

Obligatory apologies if this has been asked —
Does anyone know if there is an upgrade waitlist issue if you pre-select an exit row seat?
I’m MVP, and In this case, doing a PDX-LAX-LIR routing. When I originally selected seats at booking I had selected an exit row on a few of the segments, and it showed me only as ‘premium’ waitlisted on all segments; however recently I changed only the PDX-LAX segment to a regular elite seat (one other is still exit), and now it’s showing both ‘premium’ and ‘first class’ waitlisted on all flight segments.
I was curious if there was a known explanation for this phenomenon.. will Alaska upgrade you to FC if originally in an exit row?

I’m on a paid J ticket tomorrow. If I SDC to a Q400, will I lose Alaska Lounge/extra miles? Obviously there is no First cabin, but my ticket offered those benefits (and a SDC doesn’t trigger a ticket reissuance, iirc).

They must track the lounge access eligibility in some manner because all I did was show the new BP (reflecting Y class) and I was granted entry.
