After I crossed the 1MM point, I called and asked when I could reasonably expect to see the upgrades and receive the package. I was told that the upgrades are run on Sundays and your new status should show up during the following week.
Mine posted on a Tuesday.

This jives with my previous experience of it sometimes taking several business days for used SWUs to show up as used online (from the day the reservation shows as being in the new cabin that was reached via the application of the SWU), even though in some other cases it has apparently shown up for others on the very next business day.

If you did drop from platinum to gold, it's only temporary. By hitting two million miles lifetime, you are automatically bumped up to platinum for life. Congrats!

Just Became an AAdvantage Million Miler!
I just hit the million mile mark last week. I didn't even know it got me anything until a woman at the Gold desk was telling me a few months ago that I didn't qualify for Gold this year, but would have it for life once I hit a million miles. I've had my Citi cards for 3-6 years (I have three for my business). In the beginning, I didn't put on much, but not as my business has grown I've been banking 30-50,000 miles a month, so hopefully two million and lifetime platinum is only a few years away!

FYI, the email has never said anything about LT status. The paper kit you get in the regular mail does. Everyone gets the jitters when the email fails to mention it. Sit tight, in a few weeks you will get written confirmation and your new card in the mail with the MM status on it and your mind will be at ease.

This is a snippet from my e-mail. I think it's pretty straightforward. Highlighting is mine.
Congratulations on earning 1,000,000 AAdvantage miles!
Whether you eagerly awaited this achievement or didn't realize it occurred, I want you to know that we think it's an accomplishment worth celebrating. As a special thank you for your loyalty, you will soon receive a new elite-status membership card with the distinctive Million Miler emblem. For a review of the wide range of benefits associated with your membership, view the Elite Status Benefits chart online at aa.com/elitebenefits.
Plus, your new Million Miler status entitles you to AAdvantage Gold membership for the lifetime of the AAdvantage Gold program, regardless of your annual elite-qualifying activity. Of course, if you meet the criteria for a higher level, then you will be recognized accordingly.

Has anyone hit 1MM in early Jan received their packets yet?
Husband hit 1MM Jan 4th, stickers and congrat email came in 2 weeks time.
We are still waiting for his Welcome Packet. We know we need to wait till March.
I got my annual Gold Card a few days ago so the annual elite cards have been sent out on time.
I wonder if anyone reached LT status in early January has received his/her Welcome Packet yet?
