Because they're in I class which counts as discount business and, according to this chart http://www.aa.com/i18n/urls/aadvanta...&reportedPos=3 only early 3,500 miles (assuming EXP status)

On another note, one of my trips is 8/6-8/9. It appears in the terms and conditions that "half the roundtrip bonus will apply after an eligible one way." Should I take that to mean that my 8/6 flight (my third, so 22.5k miles!) will post, but the other half won't since it is after the end of the promo?
Anyone had experience with this? Don't want to spend money on that third ticket if I won't get at least part of the bonus!

If you mean upgrading by using miles+copay or an EVIP, then no, it will post the miles according to the originally purchased fare.

This is very exciting. A week in Hawaii and I should be able to easily make BA silver if not gold.
A few questions, would appreciate the answer if anyone knows.
Are 767 on the DFW->OGG/HNL routes angled or are they the lie flat versions?
Coming back from OGG/HNL is there anyway to avoid the double red-eye short of overnighting in mainland US? All I can come up with OGG/HNL->LAX->[convoluted route or direct]->LHR/DUB or OGG/HNL->DFW->[convoluted route or direct]->LHR/DUB. AA does not fly direct to JFK/ORD from Hawaii so it is impossible to catch the dayflights to LHR.
On a J ticket are lounges with showers in DFW after the arrival from OGG/HNL.
Thank you,

On another note, I don't think you can benefit from the AA promotions if the ticket is on BA stock, can you?

Managed to convince my wife that this was a great deal and booked DUB-JFK-LAX-LHR-DUB. Outbound is AA 757 and A321T which I am looking forward to! return is BA A380 which will be a first for me. At the time of booking this seemed to be the best option, will be able to use preclearance in DUB etc. now there is another option which definitely wasn't showing when I booked; DUB-LHR-LAX on AA 777. I've seen reviews of this service and it looks good! Does anyone know if it is possible to change? Or would people recommend changing the outbound if it is possible?
With regards to FFPs I am an Air Berlin Gold through a status match, is there any possibility of scoring an upgrade because of status? will I earn a worthwhile amount of miles? or should I credit my AA outbound to EY as I primarily use them?!
Many thanks for any help!
