Switched to BA number when flying this year, but recently did a segment (before i got GE) with my AA number. Even though i had dropped to AA Gold back in February or whenever it rolled, I still got TSA Pre that day, and it still shows in my profile that I am opted in. I had read that it was a system error more than anything!!
I'm an UK based EXP with AA and I have TSA Pre. I'm a British citizen and don't have any visa etc for USA. My other half is American and so I spent quite a bit of time in USA, but only under visa waiver programme. I am not in GE yet, but will most certainly be applying.

Being able to use TSA Pre is a mixed bag as often the TSA won't accept non US ID for TSA Pre, so despite having it on my profile and it being given on my boarding cards, I often can't actually use it!
