You sure about the bonus miles not counting? I can't find clear language one way or the other in the terms and conditions, and it's been a while since I flew paid first/business on HA, but I thought those miles showed up as counting toward status the last time I did.
OP, what does your status counter on the HA website show for miles flown? If the number is below 10K, that's consistent with the bonus not counting.
