AA benefits for QF classic reward seats

[tracman]

Hello,
i’ve just booked an internal US flight using Qantas Classic reward seats, accordingly it’s an AA flight. When booking an AU Classic Reward seat selection, bags etc are included, however I can’t see any of this on the QANTAS confirmation for the AA flight.
My question to the group. Do AA as a partner airline provide the same benefits? unfortunately no QF status, only QANTAS Club. Any advice most appreciated!

Qantas Club will give you access to AA's Admirals Club. Seat selection will remain limited.

No baggage allowance as of right on AA (or AS for that matter) if booked on Qantas classic rewards as I found out.

You do get it if you've got QF or OW status, or a AA credit card or other entitlement (which I don't).

The other possible solution is if you know you need to travel domestically within Oz is to add a QF segment first using the multi-city booking tool before the US domestic segments (i.e. if I'd booked my forthcoming SYD-MEL flight on the same PNR as my SNA-SEA, ORD-PVD and BOS-DCA-MSY flights next year, it comes up with one piece of checked baggage).

(As an aside, Qantas needs to fix the tick next to checked bags on the booking screen, given that the checked baggage allowance for those of us without status turns out to be '0 pieces'. )

Seat selection can be managed by digging up the separate AA (or AS) PNR by going to Malaysia Airlines website's MMB, opening the page source and looking for "listAirlineRecords".

So OW Emerald status would include checked baggage allowance on AA classic reward bookings?

Yes. Allowed me my one bag on both reward Y flight and paid J flights on AA

It seems extremely misleading if we don’t get checked baggage on a classic reward in economy given it has a tick for included bags….
