Tier points on AA internal flights?

EDIT: I did just notice that if I put in that it was a BA flight (i.e. BA codeshare) on the same ORD-ATL route into the TP/Avios calcualtor that S class fares show up in the Low fare bracket earning 10TPs and 606Avios (again w/ Silv bonus). So maybe that is the explanation of why I was awarded more TPs then the calculator claims I should have got when looking under an AA flight (which is actually what I booked). I wonder does that issue hold for other booking classes that don't match up between AA and BA...?

With the somewhat "fragile" state of BA's IT I'd probably still put my money on "IT error in your favour" Not that you'll be going wild with your unexpected bonus whatever the reason but every little helps I guess!

I've booked the flights via AA.com because I couldn't do it on BA.
Is there anyway to get this flight to appear on my BA app or in my BA bookings? Would be nice to have it all in the same place.
I booked "first class" but the booking code is "I", Checked on the BA calculator, should net me 140TP. Meaning for the year end I'll have 625. So happily Silver again next year.
Also, the flight is 2548 and the booking confirmation says it is aircraft 32B. Now seatguru says that this is that plane. 1 - 1 "pods". https://www.seatguru.com/airlines/Am...s_A321_new.php
However in the seat selection part on AA.com it was giving me a cabin that was 2 - 2. Like this. https://www.seatguru.com/airlines/Am...us_A321_V3.php
Odd?

If your booking is made with AA and does not include any BA coded or operated flights there will not be a BA PNR created and it wouldn't be shown in your BAEC page future bookings list.

Travel date is 11th Sep. We can't be in business if there is a F because I picked row 2. We must be on the version with 2+2 in F/J. Strange it says 32B though. Would much prefer the 32B.

For two class domestic routes the front cabin is always marketed as first although booked in a business selling class.

I suppose the AA board might have some information as to why "32B" is the displayed aircraft type in the flight availability display of the GDS.

From lurking a bit on the AA board before my trip last month I think AA use 32B for both the Transcon product and the more common two class A321 birds (some are ex-US Airways, I think there are some "legacy AA" birds in this/very similar config too).
Unless something highly unusual happens, SFO-MIA would be the two-class with 2-2 recliners in "First".
