Let me clarify more:

- AA does not offer status match but challenge - you need to actually fly AA metal in order to get a early recognition.

- AA Elite status bonus are evil - 100% additional for what you have already earned (Plat and EXP).

- Only EXP are getting complimentary upgrade

There is one thing for sure AA is better than CX - mile expiration.

CX's expires in 3 years after earning. AA keep active within 18 months as soon as you have activities.
