I saw them credited on aa.com today, backdated to the check-in date. It seems like 19K LP from the "boost" were credited first, at 100%. That got me to a total of 28,535 LPs. But then the remaining 36K were credited at 120%. So it appears that if a transaction gets you over 60K LPs, that entire transaction is credited at 120% (as opposed to just the part in excess of 60K). That was a nice surprise. Here's all my activity for the year:

Ive not looked into doing this but if the cost is low enough it makes the lost opportunity cost less with spending on my AA cards. I’m curious what your cost was to earn these LPs?
