I don't normally read the AAdvantage Milestones packet they send me in the mail (the one with your balances, inserts from partner vendors, featured destination booklet, etc.). But in glancing at my most recent one, I noticed this "Update" in the right sidebar:
Miles flying into your account faster.
The next time you fly on American Airlines, American Eagle or an American Connection carrier, you will notice that your AAdvantage miles will appear in your account faster. As a result of some recent changes, miles for travel on most of these flights will be credited to your account by the next day.
I guess the system's finally stable enough that they're willing to actually let people know about the May "enhancements"...
