AA currently counts all miles earned from any source (bonus miles, credit card miles, miles from hotels, car rentals, etc.) towards lifetime status (1 million miles = lifetime Gold, 2 million miles = lifetime Platinum.) On AS, only butt-in-seat miles actually flown are counted. I have well over 1 million miles from all sources on both AA and AS, but only AA gave me lifetime status.
