RxCapt, Congratulations ^ ! Sometimes, the system is balky - AA's software is possibly the oldest, as they were first with a CRS. IMO, the clue was the 25%, since it apparently 1) was points, and 2) the miles donot post incrementally; the bonus would be 25% OR 100%, not modified later - without a call, of course.
LostInAmsterdam the link to
McFLyPHL's spreadsheet still works. I heartily recommend this spreadsheet for keeping track - and you can modify it for running monthly toals, or whatever. (If I were a spreadsheet boffin, I would att a TODAY feature so I could enter future flights without affecting current totals; I'm not, and I am very appreciateive of
McFlyPHL's :-: efforts.)

Thanks to all here at flyertalk for making this possible. ^
