Switching to AA
I know there are other threads on this but circumstances change and are unique to situation. I am BA Gold for Life and Gold Guest List (but about to lose that) and based in US. So...
I am commuting weekly to Boston from PHL on American I have 2 transatlantics coming up over next 3 weeks that I can credit to BA or AA I will be doing 6+ longhauls (biz) a year Do I switch to AA. I have noticed that AA status helps more when there is a disruption but obviously don't need to earn status for lounge bags etc. I could apply for AA Credit Card and have the BA Credit Card. I have asked the experts on BA forum too. Tx |

FFL coming soon to PHL. 3.BA status is easy to maintain from the east coast; plus an yearly European trip to look forward to. 4. Unless you’ll get CK status or value chances of domestic upgrades; go with BA. 5. Do you see yourself using AA points or BA/QR Avios more? |
With your yearly spend, will you at least reach Platinum Pro? If not, keep crediting to BA

This same question is cross-posted in the BA forum. As that one has more replies, I'll close this thread and refer people over there:
