Status valid thru 1/30/20?
Apologies if this is a dumb question.. Just logged into the AA website and see that my status is "Valid through: Jan 31, 2020". I haven't yet requalified in 2018, so shouldn't my status (earned in 2017) expire in Jan 2019? What am I missing?

That's for what you're earning now, in 2018. If you look below, the graphs are not filled in at all (assuming you haven't flown yet), so your status through 1/31/20 is nothing. Whatever status you have from 2017 is what you've got through 1/31/19.
It confused me a bit when I started flying more in 2016 as well.

Mine has nothing that indicates an expiration date of my current status. Are you somewhere other than www.aa.com/loyalty/profile/summary?

Are you sure it doesn't say "Keep flying to enjoy this status through Jan 31, 2020?" I.e., here's how much more you need to fly to earn the status that will be good until that date?

On aa.com, it says:Progress to Gold (YTD)
Keep flying to enjoy this status through Jan 31, 2020

No, it definitely says that the status is valid through Jan 2020, both on the webpage and the app (the app is where I first noticed it). On the left side of https://www.aa.com/loyalty/profile/summary under "AAdvantage account summary" it first lists my name, FF#, and join date. Then it says:

If the OP's states 2020, the either has done a few flights this year so far that have renewed already or there is a mistake

What the OP is seeing however, doesn't make sense.

Assuming no one has been on constant RTW trips since 1/1, I'd say this is a glitch. I wouldn't count on status lasting until then (even with "but I have a screenshot" 
)
)

The reason you do not show an expiration date is because you are Lifetime Platinum with the 2+ million miles.
