1. I had three eligible round trips, only one was automatically posted (qualified for 400 points), I waited until the time I can request flight credit to submit the two missing ones.
2. At the meantime, there was one 1600 points posted (weird because the only flight I had on record is only eligible for 400)
3. I waited until the two missing trips were posted to contact CS via email summarizing the missing points (2000 total)
3. CS informed me that they are processing another batch of BA promotion and asked me to be patient.
4. Waited another statement without any points. Contacted CS again, she agreed to post the missing points manually.
5. The missing points showed up in this statement (yay!)

I have no idea what points / credits are missing at this point. My account summary is a mess.

I need to hire a BE account auditor to help me sort it all out. Sheesh. :D

+1 to this! Given the tremendous delay between the date of the flight and the date the points post (not to mention the not-1-to-1 formula between ticket price and points), I to have no idea what is missing, if anything. econometrics, maybe we should split a BE account auditor.

If I have points expiring this year, and take an award that I may not necessarily want, will re-depositing that award allow me to get back my points, or will I just lose them? What should I expect?

In my recent experience, the redeposit of the award was the same as new points so the expiration carried out to its normal terms. In my case there was a fee for the return of the points so not something you would want to do a lot of or else it isnt worth it but was worth it on the one award for me.

When you called to return the unused award, which information did the agent want from you, flight information or your AAdvantage information etc?
The WiKi says no fee for EXP and I wonder how they determine which cert is for EXP and which cert is for non-EXP because there should be various different AAdvantage status members in your company, for example. The original certificate doesn't show AAdvantage information who will use the cert.

Of course there is no C space (per EF) but I think I read somewhere (can't find it) that BXP1 upgrades are higher priority than comp EXP/500 mile upgrades. Can someone verify this? I'm debating whether it's worth up-faring and waitlisting the BXP1 or just going off the complimentary exp upgrade.

Hi,

I have a quick question regarding the redemption of BX1A or BXTA (PlanAAhead or AAnytime Awards in Coach for US Within North America). I called and was told the following:

To fly into one city (e.g., ORD-Portland) and then home from another (e.g., San Diego-ORD) is possible using these tickets.

They told me flying into Vancouver but home from San Diego would NOT be possible (due to 2 different countries, even though the ticket is for North America).

I was also told "including US Transcontinental" applies only to flight to/from NYC to California.

In the past, I have been told inaccurate information and then been put in a bind later when I go to get the ticket, so before I redeem an award I want to confirm that the above information is correct.

THANKS!

I don't believe BXP1 require reticketing. In fact I think AA specifically does not allow a BXP1 ever to be reticketed. An SWU upgrade (which is treated almost the same as BXP1 upgrade on the list) does required a reissue. It used to be that an EP SWU was the highest priority on the u/l followed by miles and BXP1 upgrades then by 500 mile upgrades....These days I don't think anyone really knows how it actually gets pushed around in the various systems....

If you click on the little question mark symbol next to the awards, it will show you the couple of cities that the U.S. Transcontinental applies to. What puzzles me is what disadvantages the BXTA have over the BX1A. It seems BXTA is more flexible. I try talking to an agent about this, but it was hopeless.
