Well, I've heard that this info will somehow be conveyed to AP members, but whether it is in a timely and accurate fashion waits to be seen. AA presents you with the following info (from my little used account), perhaps AC could attempt to emulate???

Mileage Summary
Summary Date: Oct 2007

Program to Date Miles: xx,xxx

YTD Elite Qualifying Points: x

YTD Elite Qualifying Miles: x

YTD Elite Qualifying Segments: x

Miles subject to Expiration: xx,xxx

Upgrade Account Balance: x

Total Available Award Mileage + xx,xxx


Of course, the big difference is with AA the "miles" only expire if the account has no activity for 18 months, the individual "miles" aren't date-stamped and are valid forever if there is activity. AP will need to have a much more complex expiration "display" to cover both the "activity" expiry and the "time-stamp" expiry.
