To add to this...
I just realized that I have no idea how they have my new address. I moved 8 weeks ago and haven't updated my AA account info. I'd guess they bought data from Chase or Amex as they are the only 2 things I can think of that might identify me as someone who might be interested in this (Sapphire preferred and Amex Plat) and have my new address.
