What’s the best benefit of American gold status? I am close to getting it. If I switch my flight home for Christmas to be a connecting flight I will achieve it. Worth it or are the benefits not worth the hassle of moving that flight around?

If that’s all you need to do to get it, then yes worth it.

Not a ton of benefits tbh, but you’ll get some small bonus on mileage multiplier, and you’ll be a level above those who don’t have any status for standby if you ever need it. It may never get you upgraded, but it did happen once when I was gold. It’s always better to have some status w an airline than none at all.

I fly once a month NYC to DC and back and always get at least a free upgrade to the comfort seats with more leg room and board in the first group. I occasionally have gotten bumped up to first class. It seems worth it to me even with a flight that short

The hilarious thing about AA status is how inflated the levels are. BA Gold is Emerald, while AA Gold is a Ruby peon. BA didn't even bother recognizing Ruby tier until they launched Avios.
