Baggage allowance - AA reward ticket booked via BA.com
Hello,
This seems surprisingly hard to find out…
I’m BA Gold (OWE) travelling PHX-MEX on an Economy reward ticket on AA booked via BA.com.
The ticket says zero checked bags.
The AA baggage page says 3 x 23kg (I think it’s 23kg).
The AA overweight page says OWE has 3 x 32kg bags.
https://www.aa.com/i18n/travel-info/baggage/oversize-and-overweight-baggage.jsp
I need it to cover a normal 23kg checked bag and a 32kg bike bag.
I’m totally baffled… help?

You will know that AA has recognized your status when the AA website lets you select "Main Cabin Extra" (extra-leg-room) seats for free.
Give AA's systems a day or two from ticket issuance to recognize your status.

Thanks, all. Much appreciated. Just to close this off (as I couldn’t find a clear answer online), so I phoned AA just to confirm.
It’s two separate issues.
Emeralds have an allowance of 3 x 23kg.
Separately, Emeralds also do not pay the overweight bag charge 23kg>32kg (this is the part the AA agent said sometimes check in staff may not be familiar with).
Net result is 3 x 32kg bags.
