Hi, tried to find an existing answer to this one but my search only found discussions from over ten years ago.

I'm a Qantas LTG. Also a member of AAdvantage, and next year I'll be looking to use my remaining AA points to book a flight from MAD-BOS in Y. My question then is, if I book using my AA points I'm guessing the system won't pick up my OW Sapphire status and activate the status benefits. I'm thinking at the airport I'll be able to access benefits by showing my QF digital card, but would ideally like to also access the pre-flight benefits like seat selection.

Can anyone advise if my assumptions are correct and if so is there a workaround to activate the pre-flight benefits?

Thanks
