Here are my questions:
1. Will the 30,000 miles I earn be given as US Airways miles, but then converted to AA miles once the merger is complete?
2. I already have 2 flights booked on US for mid May. If I get the CC will I still be able to get the free bag? The terms only state (as far as I can see) that I have to have the card active for at least 7 days and my Dividend miles listed on my reservation.

Your Dividend Miles will convert to AA miles once the merger is complete. You will be able to get the free bag for your May trip so long as you the card has been active for at least 7 days before the flight and your Dividend Miles account number is attached to the reservation. I think I read somewhere that the Dividend Miles account number needs to be attached to the reservation at least three days prior to the flight, but I am not certain of this. BTW, there was an application link floating out there in which 10,000 miles are awarded every year the card is renewed. The annual 10,000 miles more than makes up for the $89 annual fee in my opinion.
