Two questions from me:
1) Is there any way to figure out whether this will track as a special fare after the fact? I didn't see whether the fare had an asterisk at the time of booking.
2) (probably a better question for the BA forum but...) Would a AA ticket with an AA flight number on BA metal count as a BA flight for the purposes of earning BA status?

It should count as a BA flight, my booking as a basic member of the BAEC shows a predicted gain of 9170 avios and 360 tier points on the BA site for the four flights, flights being JFK LHR CDG LHR JFK.

Chicago flights?
What were you able to find out of ORD and for roughly what dates? I've tried to CDG for a couple dates in July and had no luck.

Sorry, I should have been clearer. I meant in terms of the four flights on BA that are required for BA status, would BA metal on an AA ticket as an AA codeshare count as a BA flight?

Well, I got myself 3 round-trips booked before the deal got killed all over the summer in 2020 JFK to CDG. Two outbounds on BA 747s -- managed to get 62 A & K on the upper deck on those. I got one direct outbound. Two direct returns on American and one connecting through London on BA. Some of my prices were even lower than what was quoted. My trips were $1,248.01, $1,147.58 and $1,086.78. All trips booked into I* which yields 20% EQDs on AA marked flights, which means my direct flights will each get $727 EQDs and my connecting flights will get just a bit more than that.
