Uh, "When they post it will retroactively give me gold.. " I'm not sure of your question here. You will get Gold when it posts, but previously made future bookings may have to be updated manually (call).
If you're inquiring if AA will apply bonuses for your status to the flight upon which you passed the threshold, AA will not.
