Just so we can all relax check your account...my status as well as several other friends shows status through Jan 31 2022. Time to take a deep breathe perhaps tho expect the flaming to start on how poorly AA communicated it but I do think they have more important things on their minds.
They haven't communicated anything because they haven't done anything, yet.

I try not to judge but reading the individual pain points on why status is oh so important to ME mostly leaves me cold; we all have a story and in these times none of them seem very important but whatever...Just so we can all relax check your account...my status as well as several other friends shows status through Jan 31 2022. Time to take a deep breathe perhaps tho expect the flaming to start on how poorly AA communicated it but I do think they have more important things on their minds.

Last night mine and two friends' accounts all clearly showed Executive Platinum through Jan 31, 2022 on our Account Summary pages and on the App. Today they've reverted back to Jan 31, 2021. No doubt the programming changes going on behind the scenes to prepare for status extension were inadvertently exposed. Expect that an announcement of status extension for a year is imminent.

That's what I saw. I am general member last year and earn gold status on last February. Now my account page remind me that I can enjoy platinum till Jan 31, 2022 if I fly more this year. In my case, I hope AA will do rollover EQM/EQD till Dec 31, 2021 for elite status till January 31, 2023. I think rollover is fair approach because international travel wouldn't come back to normal level for long time due to inevitable travel restrictions on US citizens such as outright ban, or requirement 14 day quarantine on arrival, etc.
