Must have missed the original post, sorry.

CX *should* have updated the computer record, so that when AA tries to access your membership information, it would see no status. However, if you have a physical membership card that has not yet expired, it should be easy to convince (or mislead) a check-in agent or lounge receptionist that you hold status and thus should be able to take advantage of the status benefits.
