Question: If one is Platinum and earns 100% bonus miles and one takes the flight from BOS3X, how would that post to ones account. The r/t is 5408 by milecalc. So would it be:
1. Two seperate posts, one for Plat 10,816 and one for BOS3X 16,224.
2. Three seperate posts, one for miles 5408, one for Plat 5408 and one for BOS3X 16,224.
3. One combined post of 27,044.
4. Or ideally would it be 32,488 which would be BOS3X and then 100% bonus. (don't expect this one though)
The answer is #5, None of the above.

BOS3X is triple miles period plus your Plat bonus on the base 2,704 miles. You would only get 10,816 each way, 21,632 RT.
