Question on my AA mileage accural
 

About 2 weeks ago (<b>prior</b> to Oct 1), I was scheduled to fly in economy on AA metal ZRH-JFK.

My flight was canceled, and I was rebooked on BA ZRH-LHR (Y booking code) then AA LHR-JFK.

The LHR-JFK segment (3452 miles) was posted immediately on the following day, but as of today, still no posting on the ZRH-LHR segment that I flew on BA. I checked my BA boarding pass: it has my AA FF# printed on it.

Based on this http://www.aa.com/i18n/AAdvantage/pa...ishAirways.jsp
I should be eligible to earn miles (100%) on the BA flight, right? Should I wait a bit longer to see if it gets posted, or should I send AA a flight credit request?

Another point I'm confused regarding BA flights is that do I get 100% bonus miles (I'm PLT)?

I checked and see that ZRH/LHR is about 480 miles. Adding that to 3452 = 3932 miles.

ZRH-JFK nonstop is 3931 miles, so I don't see the point of requesting AA to give me original routing credit at this point, unless I'm not eligible to earn the 100% bonus miles on the BA segment.

I'm not concerned about EQM for these flights; I'm dropping down to Gold in the upcoming year regardless.

It can take several weeks for the miles from the BA portion of your flight to appear in your AA BA FF account. Case in point, two years ago we flew a couple of legs on BA on an around the world trip - our miles for these flights didn't show up on our AA FF account for about 6 weeks.

I'd give it more time but you should retain your boarding pass just in case you have to make a claim.

Ditto.

If you come up short, phone Aadvantage Customer Service and ask for "original mileage credit" - which they'll promptly give you, including Plat bonus.

Do either of you know if I'm supposed to get 100% elite bonus miles on top of base miles for the BA segment, as a PLT?

This page only says after 10/1. But you flew just before that.

No Plat bonus for any BA-numbered flights flown prior to 1 October 2010. 100% Plat bonus after that date.

However because your re-route on BA was due to AA not being able to fly you ZRH-JFK, you should get your Plat bonus on all segments, either ZRH-JFK for original route credit, or ZRH-LHR-JFK, for the actual flown trip. FWIW, going via LHR adds a whopping eleven miles to the total. Go crazy.
