Update. I found the following in the TC and they are contradictory.

- If you requalify for a Loyalty Point bonus while you're still receiving the prior year’s 60,000 or 100,00 Loyalty Point bonus, the new Loyalty Point bonus promotion will not begin until the prior Loyalty Point bonus has ended. Check your AAdvantage® account for the date your Loyalty Point bonus promotion will begin.
- If the prior year's 20% Loyalty Point bonus is triggered retroactively while you're still receiving the current year's 25% Loyalty Point bonus, then the highest bonus will prevail. The 20% Loyalty Point bonus will not be applied.
- If the prior year’s 30% Loyalty Point bonus is triggered retroactively during the 185-day period you're receiving the current year’s 25% Loyalty Point bonus, then your bonus will automatically increase from 25% to 30% on future purchases, and the 185-day period will restart. You will not receive both bonuses at the same time.
