His status changed to EXP the same day CX miles got posted to the AA account. Unfortunately, AA refused to refund his stickers as they considered him a PLT when we took that LA flight.

AA would not grant him a free domestic upgrade as the miles from CX had not yet posted. He offered to fax in the CX boarding pass, but was told that doing so would not expedite the change in status. He ended up using his sticker account.

Seems Spottie has something interesting to say on the whole central status system thing...

Remember that over the past years/months there is likely to be better integration between systems, so whilst maybe in the past this was an issue, not sure it still is one.
