I recently got comped with AA (for the second time). Was comped a couple of years ago, denied last year, and now comped again. Both times its to AA Plat (for UA 1K). Haven't received card yet but AA.com shows Plat status and mileage credit for recent flights show Plat bonus.
I've been flying AA more recently, so maybe they factored that in the comp this time.
