Most EXP and Plats get lounge access on international oneworld flights, including Admirals Clubs (and Flagship Lounges where appropriate). Neither status members nor Admirals Club members generally get passes per se, but AA often offers a pass as a promotion, and as has been stated above, others are also available.
The best way for those without a promo or gift pass to get them is to pay $50 for a one day Club pass - that allows admission to multiple Clubs during one day. You can read more about them, including terms and conditions,
here.
Purchasing passes from Craig's List or eBay could be problematic if the passes have restrictions and those are violated.

Do the EXP, gold members and the like get them for free?
Do you get passes with each mileage level obtained to share with friends or family?
Or are they given out by to whomever by American Airlines employees?
I've done some searching and read many older posts that mention they are no longer accepted, is that still correct?
Considering buying a pair and trying to get the best information I can.
Thanks in advance,
