Correct. Here's the disclaimer language that appears on the reduced-mileage-awards webpage:
"Reduced mileage award travel is not available with the short haul award (Contiguous 48 United States & Canada (? 500 miles)) March 22-31, 2016. New reduced mileage award levels will be introduced for these shorter flights on April 1st."

Looking for help with a recent debacle.
Used a one-day pass at LAX AC since I was going to be at the airport for the better part of the day. Handed it to the dragon without event, was not given anything in return, and was sent on my way.
Left the AC about three hours after arriving to go to the gate for a flight I was standing by on. The flight was full and I could not be accommodated, so I went back to the AC.
When I tried to re-enter, I was told that I could not enter because I wasn't a member/didn't have same-day international travel. I tried to explain that I was on a one-day pass, but I was looked at like I was trying to pull a fast one on them. I pressed for a few minutes, but I eventually gave up and went back into the terminal.
Should I have been given a receipt for my one-day pass? It seems like that would make sense, especially since some pass users utilize ACs at multiple airports on their itinerary. Is it worth asking for compensation?

I would have thought that you should have been given the pass back and should have asked for it if it was not returned. You are allowed to use any available club for one full day and I don't see how you could do that otherwise as there is nothing on your BP. You could certainly ask for compensation, such as another one day pass, and you might get it.
Was it a purchased pass or a coupon? The FAQ below apply to purchased passes.

I'll be in LHR T3 doing NCE-LHR-RDU which I think connects in T3 with a three hour layover. My domestic partner will be with me. Seems like it's the same price to do two day passes or one 90 day pass. Does the 90 day pass allow a guest as I think it does? Is the AA lounge airside? Does the 90 day pass get you into anything other than the Admirals Club? It is worth buying a pass or are you better off spending it on a nice meal in the terminal?

A one day pass allows access for one day to one person (no guests) for $50.
There is no ninety day pass; there is a ninety day membership for $99, and it comes with every privilege an annual membership includes - including guests, whether you're flying or not, at many airports.
For more information about a Club see the WELCOME sticky with Lounge Dashboard. For example, the LHR T-3 Club is described and discussed here: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/ameri...er-thread.html

It's a thirty day membership actually, but still potentially a good buy if there is more than one person.

Today was the first time I have been notified by AA that I got the 10,000 EQM for spend on this card. I learned from the last 2 years to proactively look for it. They finally got around to actually acknowledging it today. Very slow but sure progress. Too bad I need to fly other carriers now on international travel because they do not have competitive pricing. Good thing we are LTP.

Looks like they added in some western airports too for the new reduced mileage chart. Was looking at Burbank availability in coach for May and could not find any. The system automatically searches for nearby airports as well and kept sending me to LAX or SNA instead.
