Mileage for Involuntary Reroute on Other Airline?
I was booked on a US Airways flight that got delayed, so US Airways booked me on an AA flight instead.
Can I claim the miles for my Star Alliance account instead? How do I go about doing that?
Thanks!

You would be better posting this in the star alliance or us airways forum (and using a much better title than a catch all "mileage" since probably 50% of posts here are about mileage).

Per http://www.usairways.com/en-US/divid...mberguide.html
But in your OP, you said *A ff#, not US...which may run into an issue.
Irregular non-award travel
If your US Airways flight is cancelled:
If you are rescheduled on US Airways or a partner carrier, you will receive miles for the new itinerary flown. If you are rescheduled on a non-partner carrier, you will receive credit for your originally scheduled flight(s) but you must contact the Dividend Miles Service Center for processing. If you elected not to travel, you will not receive credit.
If any partner carrier's flight is cancelled:
If you are rescheduled on US Airways or a partner carrier, you will receive credit for the itinerary flown but you must contact the partner airline for mileage credit. If you are rescheduled on a non-partner carrier, you will not receive credit. If you elect not to travel, you will not receive credit.

The OP didn't mention an AA ff#, someone else did. But the OP should be able to get original routing miles from US and AA miles if he has a ff account with them. Just don't change the ff# with US but rather ask the AA agent to put in your AA#. AA won't know anything about you getting original routing credit from US. As someone else said, the OP can probably get AA miles for the AA flight(s) retroactively but don't let too much time pass - AA's rules would pertain.
