Given AA won't load upcoming flights booked thru AA but crediting AS I am not surprised at all...

same, but still it's super annoying.

I’m flying AA soon. I’ve got a KTN and pre check and global entry, but have OW sapphire status with BA so want that FF number on my booking. Is there a way to manage this and still use touchless TSA?

Despite opting in, Touchless ID has never worked for me unless I am flying on a booking ticketed by a participating carrier AND also have that same carrier's own frequent flyer number in my booking.

I have an odd one. I have been opted-in for touchless, but never get it at my home airport (CLT). It does work at other airports (just used it at JAX).

Problems only at DCA
 
I'm opted in with both AA and UA and I regularly have the icon appear on my mobile boarding pass. And it has worked at many airports. But not DCA - when I scan, the officer always says "there's no record of you", I step over to the regular Pre-Check guy who runs my license and I'm good to go. And this is WITH the right icon on the boarding pass. Any suggestions on where the snafu may lie?
