I am thinking that if I buy from AA.com now, I will get 2x AA points toward MM as my AA Exec Mastercard statement will post before 12/1. Not sure if the risk is worth it though, if $400-$500 sales might show up.
Search for HNL in the MR & MR Discussions and you should be able to get an idea of when they pop up. I wouldn't think the 800 miles towards MM would be all that worth the possible $400 extra cost. Just buy $36 of magazines from ValueMags through AA shopping and you'd have the same amount of miles. (not sure if they post in time though)
