The oneworld site address is www.oneworldalliance.com
Click on 'benefits' and then on the respective airline.
I think the problem is that BA doesn't have a 'Ruby' level. Rather it starts with the BA silver which is OW sapphire. So comparing to Qantas silver, which is OW ruby, causes the difficulties. I have found no problems myself using Qantas Silver/OW Ruby with AA as they too have a OW Ruby card (which is Gold in their scheme of things!). So really it is a problem with BA being a bit different.


OW // BA // QF // AA

No Status // Blue // Bronze // Ordinary card

Ruby // No Card // Silver // Gold

Sapphire // Silver // Gold // Platinum

Emerald // Gold // Platinum // Exec Platinum



Perhaps OW might convince the member airlines to commit to a plan to rationalise all these different levels to some more identifiable standard than a little blob of colour in the corner of the card.

I hope this helps.
