Additionally, I only got the paper 3 out of 6 days.
I then changed it to my work address, and it never showed up.
They ignored the queries I made on the email site.
Actually, when I called today, the rep said they had given me credit, but no one replied to me by email or otherwise. Then, of course, the paper didn't come so it didn't matter how many credit I got.
My work address is supposed to be carrier delivered, but the paper didn't show up so I switched back to mail. It is supposed to come by mail tomorrow. We will see. The phone guy gave me another 1 1/2 weeks of credit, so I think I am about a week ahead. Good thing I did this for the MILES... That's .075 percent of 2MM

I feel lucky now. Mine must be coming with one of the paper carriers as I receive it before 6:00am every morning.

Beware of automatic renewal of your subscription

This afternoon, I spoke with a USAToday manager who is responsible for the AAdvantage promotion offer. Her name is Jacqueline and her number is: (703) 854-5357. I'm posting her name and number in case someone here has similar problems.
Anyway, she told me that the terms and conditions have not changed since the original offer. I mentioned that USAToday has recently added T&C's to their web page which were not there before. She denied this and said that I must renew the subscriptions to get the bonus miles. It was quite a disagreement. I stopped arguing and told her that I want my 1500 miles per subscription and do not want to renew. She agreed to do this and that she would call me back once the arrangements were handled. She hasn't called back yet, as promised. Anyway, I've received my miles for 5 subscriptions and still awaiting miles for 4 others.
So keep an eye on your credit card charges and the posting of your promised miles. Customer Service apparently is not able to help resolve these issues so you will have to call the Virginia office directly for help.

I got my 1500 miles, and you are right in that the T&C changed--radically! Now one has to get it for 5 months/4 renewals ($64.75) to get the 1500 bonus, so the cost is now above 3 cents per mile. 
Plus, what kind of sense do these two statements make on the offer page?
"Earn up to 2,800* AAdvantage® Miles for reading the newspaper!"
"* Terms and Conditions: Only 2700 AAdvantage Miles permitted per AAdvantage member within a 12 month period."
Oh well, I should have signed up earlier for multiple 1-month subscriptions, switching between my place and my parents (to be at least a little subtle).
It would be a worthwhile newspaper to pay for, if I were getting at least a 100 miles/$ for it too.
Now I can't anymore, so I won't.

I gifted it to my parents house starting June 4th. Still haven't seen the miles, but I definitely don't want the paper.
I think they may have enrolled me in Auto Pay even though I said NO, so I will just call and cancel when I see the miles hit my acct.
