Bummer that this won't stack with the 2x points promo some of us got in August, resulting in a bonanza like we received late last year with the promo goof-up. The August one is only valid for flts booked within a relatively short window, unlike most promos which are valid for bookings made throughout the promo period.

I wouldn't be too worried. When mistakes similar to this have happened in other promo rollouts, I've found the Dallas CR group to be more than happy to add missing points that were the result of a technical or marketing glitch.

Have 4 flights planned during the promotional time but due to price increases only one is worth re-booking to take advantage of the promo. 2x points on 1 flight is better than nothing though.
Thanks OP.

Nothing for me yet
Nothing for me yet, unfortunately. I've had 19 one way flights this year and BS roundtrip booked. I am hoping that they will put me on this promotion, as the extra points would be quite nice!

No love for me in the Promotions tab. 
Hopefully it shows up on the 18th. Was going to spread some love to AA since I've already got my CP for 2015, but this would sway my choice. We'll see...
