It depends. Let's say you're lifetime Platinum on AA but haven't flown in 2006, I think that there's no chance that CO will offer you Gold. You're going to have to show your most recent statement: Continental offers reciprocity to those that fly!
If you're Platinum and getting upgrades most of the time on AA, it means that you're flying on either a Y or B fare--the stickers will get you upgrades too. If you're flying on AA Y or B fares, I am sure that Continental would be interested in hearing from you.
