Quick question. If I have lifetime gold status (from having a million miles) and I use Avios miles for an AA ticket, will I get my privileges? I don't believe it's dependent on a credit card

Why not? You just need to add you AAdvantage number.

(While continuing to take this thread OT)

When booking BA tickets with Avios, on the payment page, the third line "Is the payment card holder travelling on this booking?" select No.

Then, once ticketed, go to AA.com>Plan Travel>My Trips>Find Reservation (use flight #, date and departure city) then add your advantage number to that reservation.

When doing it this way I haven't had a problem with AA not recognizing my status and I assume it would be the same for free bags from Citi AA cc.

This avoids needing to go through finnair

Gold just showed up on my wife's account and I'm pretty sure she didn't earn it.

We both registered for a few random promotions not expecting anything, maybe one of these actually came through. Mine still isn't showing status.
