Personally, I think that AA might affect seating preferences. I am currently AA Platinum and Qantas Platinum. On 2 of my last 3 flights (bkk-syd, syd-bkk, bkk-syd, all on BA in WT+), my preallocated BA seats had mysteriuosly be reallocated, and I ended up with something in the middle, definitely not the better seats I had requested. In all these circumstances, I had put in my AA number instead of my QF number. Maybe I was just unlucky, but in future I'll be quoting my QF number, and changing it to AA at checkin.
I should reach AA Exec Plat soon, so maybe that wil be different....
On the plus side, the AA points I have accumulated are fantastic (much better than QF), so thanks to everyone on this site for their help with changing over.
