Just a point of clarification- By booked, do they mean "purchased" or "ticketed"?

My family booked a trip to DFW today, and I'm curious if I'll see those 250 bonus points...

Not as bad as trying to introduce a car named the Nova.

That myth has been around a long time, but I'm pretty sure it's not true.

Well, I'll be darned. That's one I'd always believed to be true. Good catch.

My SFO-LAX-NRT-LAX-SFO trip, booked in Y on aa.com after 3/31, shows two 125-mile "aa.com economy bonus" entries. Any thoughts why I got this?

Bonus miles

Does AA still give bonus miles for booking and purchasing your flight online? If so where can I find the details on this?

Thanks

No. Oddly enough, you can find out all about it by searching here.

<redacted now recurving link>

(Search terms {booking bonus})

Cheers.
