When you join American Airlines AAdvantage , you are an AAdvantage member.  Additionally, the program offers Gold, Platinum, Platinum Pro and Executive Platinum status. As of January, 2022, American Arlines made the metric for qualifying for status, Loyalty Points.

Also, as of January, 2022, you’ll qualify for status based on the Loyalty Points posted to your account for the 12-month period starting on March 1 of each year instead of using a calendar year for qualifications (so activity between March 1 and February 28th of the following year). So now the AAdvantage status membership year will be valid through March 31 of each year.
