My guess is that even though I registered online, it takes some time for it to become active in the system so my web check in is not recognizing it yet.

I suppose I can just wait until tomorrow and check in at the airport since I already have seats.

But does anyone know how long it takes before I can check in online?

Have tried checking in by using the PNR (confirmation code) instead? Even non-mileage plan members can use online checkin. Also you can credit your miles to any of AS's partners, including AA which I see in your profile. When entering your mileage plan number in a reservation online, just select the airline program followed by the number.

Hope this answers your question.
