I applied a BXP1 to a segment on a booking in Jun, which I may now cancel. Can I get the BXP1 cert back for future use? If so, do I need to call in or can I do this online?

Upgrading on Alaska Airlines?
 

I’m new to BusinessExtra, haven’t yet redeemed any points. I have some flights coming up that have an AA flight number but are operated by Alaska Airlines. Would these be eligible for BXP1 certificates?

If not, can I use SWUs?

Thanks in advance for any advice!

No. Check the FAQS. https://www.businessextra.com/redeem/upgrade-awards.htm

No. (AS 75K will gain an UG instrument for AA in 2022, but this doesn't apply to AS metal, unless you have GGUs) https://www.aa.com/i18n/aadvantage-p...e-upgrades.jsp

You can cancel and get your points back with a new expiration date, no charge
The cert should auto be removed if you cancel the flight, but if not you can call to apply it to a new flight.
Personally, I would cancel and have the points added back to your account
You will need to call

Are there any signup bonus promos now? I need to see about getting my account reactivated.

Btw, there's such thing as deactivating an account, and reactivating it?

What is the turnaround time for Gold elite status? I requested it 2 days ago Sat Jul 3 for a flight in 3 days, Thurs Jul 8..

Are open jaw awards permitted? I didn't see anything on the BE website and the search tool there is RT only.
Specifically, I'm looking to book JFK - MAD; BCN - JFK. Is this doable?

Well, I called and apparently they are. The online booking tool is still round trip only though. Incidentally, there is no delay getting through to Meeting Services.

I have done it twice for son and son in law. IME it was 24 hours and 48 hours. however this was pre pandemic. If you don't see it on the account might call and ask about it.

OK, to answer my own question, I called and it normally takes 2-3 business days. So if Monday hadn't been a holiday, I suspect the Gold status would have hit already.

Results:
I requested Gold status Saturday
Monday was an AA holiday
Gold status finally showed up about midnight Wed night/Thurs morning, so almost exactly 2 business days.

Is anyone having issues pulling up itineraries for upgrade on the site? I tried like 5 of mine and none work

I've been having this issue today as well. Is this the error you keep getting?

"No records found. Please ensure you are using the American Airlines record locator."

Thats the one. At least its not just me!
