Is status printed on your boarding pass?
Hiya,
AA gave me complimentary Platinum status for a couple months but didn't send a card. I might be able to get into a couple BA Business lounges as a Sapphire on an upcoming trip, if I can prove my status. If so, do they print Oneworld as well as AA?
FWIW, I did a google site: search but it was fruitless.
Thanks

Is the AA "status on us" good for OW? UA's status challenge for Gold, I read, I was limited to UA status and did not confer Star benefits. Not sure about Delta either.

If you get a BP from an agent, your status will *usually* show up as a diagonal watermark in the middle; if not the OW status is always right under your seat assignment.

I have three examples of boarding passes that I’m currently in possession of.
1) Agent-issued boarding pass on card stock: The passenger’s AAdvantage® status is only shown in one place, under the passenger name on the small part (to the right of the perforation) of the pass. The passenger’s oneworld® status is shown in two places. It is shown under the group number on the small part of the pass and also under the seat assignment on the larger part of the boarding pass.
2) Boarding pass printed from AA.com: Both the passenger’s AAdvantage® and oneworld® status is shown under the passenger name and to the right of the passenger’s AAdvantage® number.
3) Boarding pass printed from an airport kiosk: The pass I have only has the passenger’s AAdvantage® status but has no indication of the passenger’s oneworld® status.

Malaysia Airlines and Japan Airlines have both reliably shown my Sapphire status on the boarding passes. Makes lounge access easy.
I'm going off memory, but I think Qatar Airways did not show it properly one trip, but it was right after I had earned it so maybe it hadn't propogated from AA's systems yet. It was difficult to get into a lounge, but it did work after some phone calls for verification.
