I took my gold qualifying flight yesterday afternoon. This morning the miles posted and I'm now an AAdvantage Gold Member. I'm still not able to select preferred seats or request upgrades, but hopefully tomorrow everything will be all sorted out.
Edit: It's now ~24 hours since the status changed and I am now able to request upgrades and select preferred seats.
