After using the contact form you get a response with a form to fill out. (This more or less mandatorily asks to have at least one travel booked with SQ already within 3 months, but also allows retrospective ones up to 1 month ago to count) and then it takes about a week for them to respond (successfully in my case).
As per what I have read, usually "Gold" statuses with other airlines don't count (the medium/second tier). For OneWorld that usually means you would need to be Emerald level - so for AA that would be at least Platinum Pro I think.
But still, always worth to still try (if your flight history shows you travel a lot on routes that SQ covers that can still work even if just gold).
Never hurts to try, but IME SQ cares about the other airline and where the person is based at. QF or CX are considered direct competition and not so well liked, as such there is chance to get an offer.
Someone being US based and flying AA a lot typically is not that interesting for SQ unless one can demonstrate US-SE Asia trips in which case it may be considered. YMMV.
