Somebody I know never got his AA Gold FF card (and the employee appreciation stickers). He has been Gold for a couple of years.
Is there a way to have this card resent to him? He is currently residing in Argentina.

Sure. Just call up AAdvantage Customer Service. They should get your friend squared away.

I have no plans to fly AA for another 4 months when my companion cert expires. (actually I could, darn the embargo dates :-|).
Is there a way to change the expiration date on the companion certificate?

Elite status change & lounge access
Apologies if this has been asked before but I did try a search and didnt find the answer. I am flying the return leg of an intl rt tomorrow. When I flew the outbound leg I was PLT but my status dropped to GLD as of March 1st. I assumed I wouldnt have access to the AC in LAX because I am flying economy and lost my PLT status. However, when I just checked in for the flight my boarding pass clearly shows PLT Priority Access. I'm sure its just because the ticket was booked and first leg flown while I was still PLT, but my question is would I be able to get into the AC since PLT is on the boarding pass or do the AC agents look up actual current elite status?
Might try it anyway but I wondered if anyone else has run into this issue before. Thanks in advance.

Reservation oddity
Hi
I have gotten conflicting info from AA. I have multiple trips planned. I had requested upgrades.
Originally I had 2 segment 2 flight number trips. AA changed the schedule and made it a thru flight with one flight #.
Below is what shows when I check on my trips. One trip does not reflect the upgrade request and when I check the box it says "no upgrade requested". I spoke to AA and was told they see the upgrade requested.
i know with thru flights the upgrade status drops because it is not a connection.
Do I need to call again to straighten this out? Has anyone experienced this? Is there a difference between these two trips having been changed in this manner?
And, slightly off topic, when I called one of the times the agent moved me from my chosen seats to ones farther back.
A search for thru/through flights did not help.
Thanks for any info

Sorry, I found the AA forum a bit overwhelming and didnt know where to post, so here goes.
Would I be able to book FRU(Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan)-OVB (Novosibirsk, Russia)-PEK-KUL ( S7x2 + MH) using the All airline award chart? And not explorer pricing.
One agent didnt manage to price it, and gave me 60K in Y for explorer award.
Any chance?

There is a general restriction on flights to Eastern Russia. Essentially, Eastern Russia has no place on the oneworld and other airline award chart and cannot be accessed (as a destination) with such an award. I imagine travel Europe-Asia might be permitted via Eastern Russia, but haven't seen any reports of this.
Mileage redemption on S7 Airlines is valid using both oneworld multi-carrier awards as well as AAdvantage All Airline Awards. Miles may be redeemed to any destination S7 Airlines serves using the oneworld multi-carrier award; however, destinations in Eastern Russia* are not valid for redemption using AAdvantage All Airline Awards
* Destinations in Eastern Russia (east of the Ural Mountains) include Barnaul, Bratsk, Chita, Irkutsk, Kemerovo, Krasnoyarsk, Kurgan, Nizhnevartovsk, Novokuznetsk, Novy Urengoy, Nadym, Omsk, Novosibirsk, Surgut, Tomsk, Ulan-ude, Blagoveshchensk, Magadan, Khabarovsk, Norilsk, Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsk, Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk, Vladivostok, Yakutsk

Kyrgyzstan is in the Middle East/India region and Malaysia is in the Asia 2 region. Travel between these two regions may not be via a third region to be valid as a single oneworld and other airline (née All Airline) award.

Just try it. Worst case scenario is they rightfully don't let you in. But in my experience, when I use other oneworld lounges (aka CX/JL/QF lounges), they seem to just look at the boarding pass, scan it, and let me into the lounge. For Admirals Clubs however, it seems that the staff (recently) do a significant bit of typing/clicking on a computer. Not sure whether they would check your status or just let you in. Give it a shot.
