if you fly 1K you will get the follwoing:
1,000 BIS miles
1,000 miles bonus if you are 1P or higher
3,000 miles bonus due to the promo
Total: 5,000 miles
At least that is my read of these rules:
Triple miles apply to base flight miles only and do not count toward elite status. Triple miles are in addition to any applicable elite and class-of-service bonuses.
So if you fly in paid C or F class you could get another 250 or 500 miles respectively.

Obviously, you are not well versed in the meaning of "triple." Triple means three times what you would otherwise earn. So if the BIS is 1,000, you earn a total of 3,000. Add to that the OP's 1K bonus of 1,000, and he will earn a total of 4,000 miles.
By your rationale, the ordinary 1K bonus on a 1,000-mile flight would net 3,000 total miles, because the flyer would get 1,000 BIS + 2,000 "double miles." As I'm sure you're aware, that's the wrong way of looking at it.
