OK, I've read back a few hundred posts but cannot find details on recycling to get to $100k for AA miles. I created account for AA and put in $24,599 (it would not let me do any more than that). I put another $5k in today and tried setting up a link to my Ally account so I can push in another $20k this week. I'm hoping to get $50k by this weekend and then see if AA miles post.

I don't have another $50k in cash sitting around that I can use to get to $100k but it sounds like there are some tricks where I can take out money and put it back in and the "recycled" money counts for the $100k. However, I can't find anyone giving the details on how this works. Does the money have to be in a certain time before I take it out? Once out, does it have to stay out a certain time before I add it back? If there is a post that explains this, please let me know the post # as I cannot find it.

I will eventually try Delta too but I'm near 2 million miles for AA so that is the most important. Does the Delta deal expire soon or can I do it in Oct after my AA miles post? I saw postings that led me to believe it expired on 30 Sep 2011 but it was confusing.

Thanks!
