It took one more email acknowledging that I had no unposted flights and repeating my original request to get the stickers posted.
I did say a phone call. A quick call to AAdvantage CSR will get this done in 1 minute. The first time I tried this few years back, I called the Gold or Platinum line(don't remember) and they said they can't help me. Came here, did a search and found a thread about this very same subject. Few posts stated that it's AAdvantage CS that should be called, not the elite lines, and also that you have to wait until the last few days in Feb. I did it and stickers posted. I did it for couple of more years and never had a problem. I even had the last couple of stickers posted once the new free EXP upgrade program began. I only had ~5500 miles towards stickers and again they posted the last 2 after a quick call.
So a phone call is much better IMHO, but at the end e-mail worked for you.
At the same time we all have to realize that this is an unpublished perk. AA could tighten this up at any time, but AFAIK, it's still very easily done at this time.
