e-Rewards didn't say anything about AA or refer to AA sponsors anywhere in the response to BBB. It only said "production error" and "to a limited group of participants in the e-Rewards Opinion Panel."
The best we can say is only certain number of panel members were targetted but e-Rewards made a huge mistake executing this promo.
As for me, yes, I happen to be a Panel Member. And yes, I had AA as one redemption option. Do I have to follow up to get my double rewards? Yes!
Are all my double rewards up to date? NO!
Well, hey, maybe YOU should read the thread more carefully!
First, just because
willdallas was targeted for the offer, but was sponsored by Delta and had no access to AA awards, that does NOT prove anything. After all, it does appear that at least SOME people were incorrectly targeted, right?
Second, with regard to the BBB response, the fact that AA wasn't mentioned proves NOTHING one way or the other.
Third, in a post just a few above yours (which you apparently didn't read),
thelostshark reports that his Double Rewards bonus was posted as "American Airlines News." @:-) That is a positive piece of evidence (unlike the fact that BBB didn't mention anything, etc.).
And finally, there are a number of OTHER pieces of evidence sprinkled throughout this thread, which I'm not going to rehash right now, because it's somewhat like beating a dead horse. All I can say is that before you posted the above, you ought to at least have read the most recent posts, or better yet, reviewed the whole thread. @:-)
