According to AMEX customer service the maximum bonus allowed on the double mileage promo is 20,000. I bought 10k of bonds, but anything over that is 1-1 miles.</font>
I don't think that's how it works. If you buy $10k in bonds (or whatever) you get your 10k DL points for the actual purchase plus 10k more as bonus. You are counting the actual purchase value into the bonus total. You should be able to buy $20k in bonds and thus receive 20k "bonus" points as wells as 20k points for the purchase. Please correct me if I'm wrong on this
