Why do you think it needs to be reissued? If it's a significant enough of a schedule change (maybe 2+ hours, but you'd have to have a justifiable reason), then you can cancel and rebook on any airline you wish as long as there is award availability. If there's none, and the schedule change isn't suitable for you, Uour only option would be to cancel the entire booking free of charge.
Isn't it that when a flight is canceled, and the only obligation AA has, is to allow cancellation with redeposit fee waived?
I were OP I would call to find out what the AA solution is. If OP still wants to go to CAI, then he needs to find alternative route among oneworld carriers with availability.

Thanks for pointing this out; I wasn't aware of this restriction (not that I'm planning on flying QR to/from Canada or Mexico). It looks like Canada, Mexico, and Central America are the only categorical restrictions. AA's partner earnings page for QR says:
Might be worth trying to put an award booking on hold and seeing if it prices up ( given that it doesn't list redemptions as valid )

If QR could not fly to CAI, your point is totally moot as there is NO FLIGHT currently - is that not justifiable reason to cancel?

I won't presume to know the answer nor would I guess what AA agents or Advantage agents know. The DM exchange that was posted didn't inspire me.
I'm sure someone at AA knows the answer why CX or BA flights and the others I listed that originate in Canada will earn on AA, but QR, AY and IB won't

Earn and redeem AAdvantage® miles for travel on Qatar within the Middle East and between the Middle East and:
- Africa
- Asia
- Europe
- South America
- South Pacific
- U.S
Two years ago I flew BKK-HAN on QR and earned miles. And intra-Asia flights are not listed above
I am 99.9% certain that Canada-Doha flights will earn miles.

It would be great if anyone who has flown QR ex-YUL or AY ex-YYZ etc, could post a confirmation on this forum.

If QR and the others are not excluded, then it would be nice for AA to correct their partner pages. It would also be nice not to have the confusion that seemed evident to me in that DM with AA.

So it's great to read:
I have always taken such words, which I believe are on the earning page of each airline, to be merely an indication of where the particular airline flies, NOT implying restrictions on earning.
Two years ago I flew BKK-HAN on QR and earned miles. And intra-Asia flights are not listed above
I am 99.9% certain that Canada-Doha flights will earn miles.

But in any case, I just found out that my itinerary has disappeared because it was sitting in queue for so long that QR autocancelled the booking. Now it looks like I am unable to book it at all even foward dates etc as DOH-CAI has completely be taken out.
So will check with AA in the morning to see what to do. Best I guess is for them to cancel and refund the entire booking.

Has anyone has experience calling AA and asking them to change an award booking that was originally booked on QR to another partner? I am flying BOS-DOH-CPT, and am worried about what is going on with the Middle East countries placing sanctions on QR, and the possibility it may impact my flight.
I'd love if AA just said, "Sure we will rebook you on BA." But I know that is a long shot in the dark.

Am sure they would rebook if space is available on another partner. But I wouldn't expect them to move heaven and earth with the liasons given that, at this point, your flights aren't impacted.
