AA don't comp (and certainly none of the other OW airlines comp except in exceptional circumstances). The closest you can get is doing a AA Platinum Challenge. Strongly suggest you search around the AA and QF forums and you will find all the information you need to get you started.
Dave Noble has posted a huge amount helpful posts in the QF forum so that maybe a good starting point before venturing into the AA forum.
