AA processes the mail-in requests by how soon the initial flight is going and depending on load of requests. So, if your flights are within 3 weeks, they would prioritize yours before someone traveling in several months.
Your flight reservations will show as "Purchased" on AA.com as they must receive within 2 weeks and will not turn to "Ticketed" until they have processed the vouchers. If you have send with 21 days notice, you should be okay.
Last year, I sent in vouchers in mid-Jan for a trip in May and they processed them within a few weeks after receipt. I'm sure yours will be processed soon.
Hope that helps.
After all the angst, at least on my part, just got the e-mail confirmation of the itinerary being ticketed. Actually ticketed for $30 less than what it was on hold for, too, though I can't figure out how since the base fare listed is the same. It's going to cost AA more to charge my account for the 92 cent difference than they'll actually get, though the Sheraton Nashville still gets the award for the silliest charge of literally
2 cents put thru on my card 3 weeks after checkout in October.
Thanks for all the insight everyone!
