Think of what's on the weekend before the 14th. That's why

Its not as if you have to wait for other carriers; this is all AC Metal; in house....
Because if they give out the bonus miles right away, and then someone submits a successful appeal that knocks you out of the top 20/30, and then they take your miles away, you'd be pretty pissed.

Or it's to put the expense in a different fiscal quarter.
