I called
Took about 10 minutes and the LM Rep was very nice, new exactly what I was talking about, but she did tell me that it would take 4 to 6 weeks for the miles to post onto my account. I asked if there was anyway to expedite it and she initially said no, but eluded to that fact that American Airlines has sent out email to some people that gives them a # that the LM rep will ask for and can apply to the process which may speed it up.
Easy 500 miles
