One downside of companion tickets and family of four is all four cannot be on same PNR.
Our daughter has AS Visa and DH is authorized user , with a card. Lucky for them, check in agent allowed 1 bag for each for trip to Hawaii.
in your case, buying the tickets for son and grandson will not link your AS card to their PNR. Card is linked to your MP account. Your PNR with granddaughter will have 1 checked bag each for free. If you have status with AS, then you would get two bags.

Makes me think about cancelling mine and wait for an offer.

or you might be targeted for an 80k offer.

I myself got the 80k mile offer by mail like 6 months ago but I still don't really see the appeal of AS credit cards.

Me neither (*), but I see the appeal of 62k or 80k miles in my account.
(*) the discounted companionpass ticket makes holding the card beyond the first year for many semi-profitable, but using it for everyday spend isn’t appealing to me. Which is why I might cancel one of mine (I have the personal and the business cards) and wait for a good sign up bonus.

From the T&C:This card may not be available to you if you currently have or have had the card in the preceding 24 month period.

Thanks. Wish I had cancelled it earlier then, but the next best time to do it might be now. Realistically I don’t need a new signup bonus for the next two years as I still have a lot of AS, BA, and AA miles go burn. And maybe they will launch a new and improved card without the limit on previous cardholders (new product and all).

Just saw a notification on my phone that my flight is now boarding at gate C2E. I am at home, not traveling (the notification was from last night when I was sleeping). Thinking through it for a few moments (after sipping some more coffee), I realize it was an award flight that I canceled a few weeks ago. I double-checked and yes I received the refunds.
I don’t recall if I opened the AS app on my phone since the cancellation, so my suspicion is that the app didn’t sync my trips from the server and acted upon old data without first checking with the mothership. Does that sound plausible?

If I purchase a AA codeshare operated by CX, will I earn based on the AA chart or CX chart (i.e. AA8938 in V class vs. CX885 in S class).

Always refer to the charts of the carrier code that preceeds the flight number. That is the marketing carrier.

I just made MVP-G for the first time. My organic flying starting next year will get me there consistently for future years but I had to mileage run for it before end of this year.
A couple questions about SDC’s:
1) If there is availability on the flight I want to change to, do I get to select my seat? Or am I added the the awaiting seats list?
2) Am I added to the bottom of the upgrade list? Or am I still above any MVP’s (that haven’t already been upgraded)?
3) if I am booked on an N fare for example, I could SDC even if there was only 1 Y fare left?
Thanks!

2. You are added in the spot for an MVPG that just booked at your original fare class.
3. Yes, you can.

1. If there are available seats and you do a same day confirmed change, yes you pick your seat. If there isn't space available for a confirmed change the app will let you go on the standby list, in which case you would go on the Awaiting Seats list.

3. Yes, you can.

After the change, your new flight will show as booked into Y. However, Y is just a placeholder and earnings on the flight will be based on the underlying fare class of the original ticket. In your case N. The new flight in Y will not earn the 50% Class of Service bonus.
