You certainly will be kicking yourself next year if you're at 113k because those AA miles posted late.....
Usually I find that AA miles post in about a week. Sometimes less, sometimes a bit more. A bit too random to risk it, I think.
I might just remove my MPC number from the record if the miles have not posted.
There's no prospect of DM next year. This year I've been travelling more than usual and if I time everything correctly I'll be able to make my return trip ORD-LAX-HKG credit towards next year, so I'll only need about 52K more to requalify for GO next year, which might be doable.
The AA flight that will should qualify me for GO will be YYZ-ORD, only 434 miles, so one can see why I'm keen not to have my LAX-HKG flight post before that one!
