Actually I accumulated many flight bonuses through AA and that's how I earned my required 2mm miles. Remember that AA counts everything that goes into your AAdvantage account towards the lifetime status. Lifetime Gold is fine but Lifetime Platinum is the one that makes the difference.
Better to spend the money on say Starwood and then transfer the miles over. Or travel the routes (just bear and grin on the AA flights) that give you the bonus miles. Though some of the signup AA card bonuses are great too ie 75K miles for applying!
CX 'bonuses' seem to be few and far between nowadays!
