Head's up - just received another bonus offer. Some history:

2/13 - Approved for new card. Made one purchase for the bonus and put the card away.
4/13 - Received 750/3 for 15k offer. Completed spend, bonus posted.
2/14 - Called "to cancel" with AF due. Had already received 10k anniversary miles. Got the AF cut by 66%.
2014 - Put a few charges on the card here and there, mainly due to a 2X on gas offer. Last transaction was in 12/14.

1/15 - Received new offer for 15k points after spending more than $500 in Feb / Mar / Apr. My AF is due in Feb and the T&C state that in order to qualify for the 15k bonus, you must pay your AF (it's even in bold). That said, put the spend on the card plus the 10k anniversary miles means 25k miles for $89 - pretty sweet deal. A second card would be better but I've tried twice and it isn't happening with Barclays.

Does the 10K anniversary miles post right away on the day the account opened or the following billing cycle?

Whats the difference between statement close date and billing cycle?

I wonder if I just made a mistake. I got the annual fee waived, but now I remember that there was some fine print about the 10,000 anniversary miles being contingent on paying the fee. Has anyone had the fee waived recently? What was your experience, did you get the miles anyway?

(I searched this thread but the only references were awhile back, and things might have changed with the American merger.)

I love this card. Got the email verifying the continuation of anniversary miles. My fee is due in November and I also got the promotion spend $500 for 3 months and get 15,000 bonus miles. This is in addition to the other 2 promos of 2 bonus miles for certain categories up to 2,500 miles.

I don't want to push my luck but has anyone gotten a statement credit for the annual fee in addition to that 15,000 mile bonus? It specifically says you have to pay the fee.

Thanks.

A few years ago I opened this card via the Chairman offer and the following year got my 10k bonus miles before my annual fee even appeared.

With my current US card, my annual fee posted in April and I still haven't received the 10k. Is that normal? When have others recently received their 10k bonus? (I'm AA PLT not Chairman so maybe they nixed me. I don't recall getting the email confirmation others mentioned in October.)

I did not receive any notification on my card that came due in February. The fee posted 2/27 and the anniversary miles posted 2/4. I also applied through that chairman link.

I would think that they should post this month.

Are your miles posting from your credit card spend? I read that someone never merged their U.S. and AA accounts, so when they opened a new U.S. Credit card a new Aadvantage account was created. Their bonus miles we're going into that account.

Thanks. It's reassuring that someone else didn't receive the notice.

5/8 Update: Miles from spending correctly posted to my AA account, but no 10K anniversary bonus. Barclays claims they don't see that bonus on my account and want me to send them a promotion code. They seem to be unaware of what the anniversary bonus is. I will send a copy of the application advertising the 10k, but it seems unlikely it will be honored.
