I got mine. Applied on Sept. 24. I'm Plat on DL and have the AS credit card already. I have a few upcoming flights on AS and have been checking the app to see if my status changed (had no prior status with AS). Looked today and I'm MVPGold100K. No email from AS--just the status change. AS flight next week shows I'm on the upgrade list and allows me to pre-order a free meal/snack if I don't get upgraded to F.
Never been a huge AS fan--but happy to give them another try now.
