Does anyone know if the free checked bag can be used on AA flights booked with British Airway miles?

Nice! I already get the old World Elite card for free.
Does the free bags count for award tickets as well?

I don't see fare codes mentioned for the $100 certificate. I wonder if it could be applied toward an award (for example partner fuel surcharges).

I have a Citigold checking account which has previously waived the annual fee on the Citi AA credit card, for the past 10 years. I hope this policy continues given the new benefits.

So when I use my card to buy a $7 drink on board, I'll get 14 miles and $1.75 rebate.

10% miles back
So if I just redeemed miles today and have both the old personal Amex and Visa cards which seem to have gotten these benefits. So does that mean I automatically get 10% back? Do I have to use the card to pay for the fees (the fine print doesn't mention that)?
