I recently just booked a US domestic via QR as it was a few thousand less avios but only USD $6 more than BA, well worth it. Issue is then getting my BA number on the booking instead of my QR one so my status benefits apply which is doable by entering the booking via Finnair. So cheaper but more hassle/effort required.

Which route was it? I just did 2 dummy bookings for CLT-GCM in economy (I know not strictly a domestic), BA quoting 11k avios plus $4.40, QR quoting 18k avios plus $61.60!
