What seems unclear is what happens if you have already transferred the 250K miles and received all of the possible benefits. I received this response from the concierge:
This part of the Travel@home promotion was just announced today. Here is what it means:
On Thursday:I buy 20,000 miles through the Buy Miles promo:- I earn 20,000 Base Miles
- I earn 23,000 Bonus Miles (115%)
I’ve earned a total of 43,000 miles as part of Buy Miles promo (Base + Bonus) x 50% - > 21,500 eligible for Travel@Home promotion
Members are not earning AQM for purchasing miles, its just what is eligible for the promotion. So since there is no AQM, there is no eligibility for Million Miles.
So it appears that the 50% of the total purchase + bonus qualifies for the Travel at Home promotion. If you have already transferred the 250K then there is no additional benefit as it relates to the Travel at Home promotion. The Travel at Home promotion was the first time one received MM status miles without accruing AQM (which is contrary to the statement above). These are getting somewhat confusing...
