Can you get back miles you didn't fly because you were rebooked on another Airline/Alliance?

Contact AAdvantage and request original routing credit due to your involuntary rerouting. Provide scans of your new boarding passes, your PNR and ticket number, and a short description of what happened.

It is very likely AA will credit you for RDMs and EQMs as a goodwill gesture for the cancellation, although you may not receive segment, e500, or specal promotion credit for the flight.

This is one of the extremely rare cases where it is possible to double-dip. You can request your new flights to be credited to US Airways (or another Star Alliance carrier, such as United), and receive those in addition to the AAdvantage miles. Of course, since AA and US Airways are merging, if you can keep the US Airways account alive for another year and a half or so, you can merge miles from both accounts into the new program as well.
