That would require AA to have a business class product which on domestic flights I have only seen on transcons. On a 2-class service, a BA CW flight would book into Y and only give 20 TP.

A connection as a BA codeshare on AA metal after a CW leg will book a seat in F, but yield 40 TPs on an AA two-class.

I have a chance to do a Y-Up on a one way domestic in the US next month, on a relatively short hop from ATL-MCO. This fortunately (or unfortunately) involves a connection in MIA (so ATL-MIA-MCO). Two <2k mile legs in first, which ostensibly would net a tidy 120 TPs.
However, the TP calculator on BA.com is now reporting that these legs don't have First--they have Business only, and this is coming up at 40 TPs.
Any insight?

If it's not too long ago and if it's still important to you, you should raise it with BAEC as that's wrong. I've had it post wrong too although reasonably painless to have it corrected.

True if booked on a BA flight number. If booked under an AA number it would normally book into A class and count as First.

Basic rules:
(1) If you are on AA ticket stock, whatever fare class flown AA reports will dictate what you get in terms of TPs. F/P/A all yield the nice 160TPs on the longer AA Transcons (e.g., SEA-JFK) where a two class plane is used.
(2) If you are on a BA coded flight, but AA metal, BA now seems to know (and care!) what fare class you are ticketed in. So if you ticketed in I class, but connected to a 2-class AA transcon, you are only going to get business class TPs for this (forget that such a thing doesn't exist). That sucks if you are on a SEA-JFK-LCY routing. In the past the SEA-JFK leg credited as 160TPs.
(3) the rule in #2 applies to IB ticket stock too, I just confirmed that. My IB ticket was in I class but the rules allowed ticketing on AA into A class for US domestic segments. Notwithstanding this, I only got TPs equivalent to a business class ticket on that route (even though no such thing exists).

210. Not sure where you got 160 from?

The TPs for First Class flights over 2000 miles with an AA flight number are now 210.
