I, too, reached out the my concierge and then got a call (from another concierge) the next day with the good news.
American doesn't offer too many non-stop options from SFO -- just 8 US hub cities and nothing international -- but I'm pretty excited nonetheless and undoubtedly will fly them when it makes sense (have flown with them once in the last 3 years). Also exploring the options for status matching to other airlines. Some won't work because I didn't "earn" ExPlat, but others look like they will.

I am glad to hear about the SWUs -- I am going to be real suspicious of being able to use them for something valuable, but I will definitely try!

My status just updated to Executive Platinum. No SWUs posted yet but if I remember correctly from my AA flying days, those are managed by a separate system and I guess they will be loaded overnight

So after reading all of these comments and not receiving a reply from my concierge I decided to call. Sure enough, I was targeted for Executive Platinum. Thanks to everyone on this forum as I wouldn’t have pressed this if I hadn’t read all your comments.

I was confirmed on Monday (12/9) and my EXP just posted in the last few hours. Also no SWU yet for me. Fingers crossed those coke soon. So for me it is 5 business days. But maybe they’ll just be doing it weekly on Fridays? Not sure....

Received the call! Yeah!
I am 2MM LT Plat.
2019 - 6 RT AA $ flights and also 9 AAwards via Avios. (Before I was blindly loyal to AA, but this year have flown DL, UA, WN, Jet Blue, basically who ever is cheaper).
I am definitely not a high $$ customer, but pretty loyal.
If they wanted to get additional revenue, they will with me, I will cancel some WN itineraries and rebook with AA, and also just choose AA for the duration of my EXP.
Also the Hyatt partnership with AA has also made me book more Hyatts, unfortunately places where I travel lack Hyatts. I will chose AA as my AMEX Plat and Aspire airline.
Finally, a big advantage of EXP is taking advantage of the dirt cheap Web Saver Awards having the flexibility to cancel without penalty and even a small chance of an upgrade.

See my new AA Exec Plat status in the app!
It’s official! I’m AA Exec Plat thru the end of Jan 2021. Status change was reflected on my app as of this afternoon. I got the call re: the upgrade offer from my Hyatt concierge in the eve on Thurs 12/5. So it took 8 days (6 bus days). That’s a bit sooner than the 2 weeks (or 10 bus days) I was originally told. Thanks Hyatt & AA! A great holiday gift for me! I’d already started flying more AA flights since I registered for the promo challenge - but I would’ve never made it to Exec Plat. I’m
already planning more AA flights for 2020! I just hope those systemwide upgrades post to my account SOON as well!

Are there any data points of people linking their accounts since this announcement and then subsequently being targeted? Or, did you have to have already linked your accounts prior to this week in order to get an offer?
