AA routes with zero Tier Points?
I recently flew ORD-MYR on AA (3799) and although the avios credited fine the route gave no tier points. Having a look on the BA calculator this seems correct if not a little weird. Is this a case of the calculator being a little wrong or are there some routes on AA which earn avios but no TPs?
If it helps it was bought through BA as part of a larger itinerary and was issued as a 125 ticket. It was operated by envoy air I think.

Sold as AA3799. Ive not travelled around the states much...usually head east so I'm not sure how it works with AA and their wetleases/operated by etc. When booking on BA there was no option for a codeshare.

That looks like a data error to my mind. It should have been 40 TPs on that, so I would contact BA about it, either using the form, or probably better in this scenario, a telephone call. It may take a few weeks to change since it's AA which awards the TPs.

if you look up AA ORD-MYR on the ba calculator it does incorrectly show only avios with 0 TPs for all selling classes. As CWS noted this is clearly a data error and a call would be best to resolve.

ISTR this glitch having been reported by others before. It was being sorted out, and with no further report on the thread, I think one can presume that it must have been duly sorted out: AA Flight crediting Avios but not Tier Points?

Quick update on this...after dealing with a few people from BA customer service I've been told that
a) Flight wasn't operated by AA = no tier points
b) Flight has credited correctly and J class doesnt earn tier points.
Going to give @BAMissingAvios a ping and see what happens!

Interesting.... I had the same two weeks ago on an ORD-CHS flight in first.... Zero Tier points, but 40 for CHS-PHL and 40 for PHL-ORD on the return segments... Avios on all three. Now i'm Gold for Life it's not important but I might have a complain anyway as i am in the mood!
