We were not SSSS on the AA boarding cards. We are also Dl medalion no status.
Getting re-booked often results in SSSS because it comes across as a "last-minute" purchase/booking and apparently that is one of the criteria that increases the chances of a red flag. It does not always result in SSSS, but often enough it does.
