That is the site I was referencing in my previous reply. It shows that there are specific requirements for AC access if my OWE status is the result of AS status. (Sorry, I didn't realize that AC was the acronym for Admiral's Club - that was the cause of my previous confusion because, as I said, I'm new to AA.) What I've learned is that if you are using AS MVP Gold 75K to establish OWE status, then you must be flying on specific itineraries in order to get AC access. These include US to Asia, Australia, Central America, Europe, New Zealand, or South America. There are also some transcon flights which qualify as well but flights to the Caribbean, of which Curacao is part, do not qualify. Long story but I figured it out...I won't have access per the specific rules.
Don't be so sure:

"Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan MVP GOLD 100K, 75K, and MVP GOLD members may access oneworld lounges when travelling to somewhere outside of the U.S., Canada, or Mexico."
