AAdvantage Buy Back and Boost / Buy Up Status
AA generally offers members reasonably close to requalifying for status near the end of the year the option to buy back their existing status, or on occasion to buy up to the next highest status tier.
These offers are generally made by email to AAdvantage members beginning some time in November.
If you have not received an offer or would like to see your offer (if any), you can see it by visiting https://elite.aa.com
If you haven’t flown sufficiently, you’ll probably sign in and see

I'm not sure, maybe if you do the purchase now with an AA card, the spend amount may get LPs, but I don't know. Might be better to use some other card which gives you points for travel as this would code as travel?

Of course it will get LPs the same as any other expenditure; 1 LP/$.

I got the offer to buy up to EXP in February for $2,900. At the time I was over on EQM but was about $2,900 short on spend. Flew another $600 worth of trips before the end of February…. My offer is still $2,900. At $2,300 I’m probably a buyer.

You Can Buy AAdvantage Gold Status for 2022
Got a flyer in the mail today that told me AA has a special offer, just for me! (haha).
The offer points to https://aa.com/status2022 that brings one to a login page, and then an offer to secure AAdvantage Gold status for 2022 that is valid through March 31, 2023. You can use a combination of miles or money to buy this unique gift: $1,535 or 153.5K miles.
I will not be flying enough in 2022 to pay that much for Gold status, but it might be worth it for others. At least we now know what value AA places on Gold status.

Wrong.
It's quite easy, as a matter of fact.
Motley Fool 6200 LP for $86
Verizon 6200 LP for $39
Bright Cellars 3000 LP for $38
Spot & Tango 2500 LP for $16
Giftcards.com 3071 LP for $24
Hello Fresh 2000 LP for $23
Sunbasket 3700 LPs for $27
Byte 4650 LPs for $128
Total 31321 LPs for $381. And of course 31321 RDM.
I'm not even counting double dips and stacking deals. BTW I've received all of the above and a ton more.
