We we ended up getting upgraded to first both ways to boot!
You got lucky because most of the front end ticketing agents do not know the rules and you will end up with paying all the taxes. You can call AA ticketing and they will refund you taxes ... in a form of another AA voucher. You can use several AA vouchers to pay for 1 ticket and still avoid taxes but the agent should know how to do this right.
