I never done this before so I will ask. If I book an AS flight on the AS website, and i say I prefer AA mileage program, Even though I am a lowly member on AS, I will get credit toward my AA elite status and the loyalty points?
That is all. Thank you,

You can credit qualifying AS flights to any oneworld FFP, including AAdvantage. Note that the earnings rate for AS flights can vary from partner to partner.

Maybe I'm inpatient... I became AA Gold overnight between Aug 12 and Aug 13. I purchased a flight on AS the morning of Aug 13. As of this morning I'm unable (8/14) to select preferred seats nor has my checked baggage allowance changed. I clearly put my AA FFP number in the reservation. Do I need to wait longer or call in?
Any suggestions or comments? Thanks!

Just flew PDX-SJC last week, and IIRC the 3 bags only applied to me, not my son as well (also on PNR). But I could be wrong, as I didn't need to check more than 3 bags anyway.

Does my status get me anything on Alaska?
Looking to book LAX to LIH using AA miles. AA shows 22k if I fly on Alaska metal. 44k on theirs.
With AA I get free extra leg room seats for myself and spouse. Does that benefit transfer over to Alaska?
Thanks

According to https://www.aa.com/i18n/aadvantage-p...s-benefits.jsp,
AAdvantage Executive Platinum and AAdvantage Platinum Pro members receive complimentary upgrades on Alaska Airlines. Upgrades will be confirmed as early as 120 hours before departure, if seats are available.

^Initially this benefit only applies to the AAdvantage status member. Later, AAdvantage Executive Platinum, AAdvantage Platinum Pro and AAdvantage Platinum members will be able to extend this benefit to 1 companion traveling on the same flight and in the same reservation.
