Two other minor benefits I can think of:
1. AAdvantage Gold members earn 1,000 miles per rental (even a one-day rental) with Avis/Budget. Non-elites earn 500 miles; qualifying credit-card holders earn 750. (There is a $1/day fee if you choose to claim AA miles on a rental.)
2. All AAdvantage elites get better redemption rates when redeeming miles for hotel stays.
