No credit card currently offers annual AA status nor even Elite Qualifying Miles/Points toward status. However, it is possible to achieve
lifetime Gold status by earning 1,000,000 AAdvantage miles or
lifetime Platinum by earning 2,000,000. For lifetime status all miles from any source are counted. For annual status only Elite Qualifying Miles or Points count.
This topic is exhaustively discussed in the AA section of Flyertalk:
