Interesting this flight is the first towards my membership level because they used Aug 1st start date:

Current qualifying year: Aug 1, 2014 - Jul 31, 2015
Qualifying flight spend this year: $219

(Not sure but I think the $30 was for seat selection.)
Please excuse my reply. I have re-read your post probably half a dozen times. I should have, in my post (which you replied to), capitalized the word "NOT". I think your post actually is not a confirmation but to indeed say that:

"Yes, you can qualify for WJ Gold through spend AND credit to AA". Based on your post, this would appear so. Please forgive me for double checking, what you are saying is that yes, I can qualify for WS spend ($6000 for gold) AND get my miles dumped in AA?
