For the 2008 "Boost Campaign," my bonuses were received in three batches, with each award coming shortly (6 days) after taking the required numbers of segments. However, for the "Boost 2010 Campaign," the bonus was credited in one block at the end of the qualifying period.
This year, I haven't yet reached the number of segs for the first award (I've taken 4 so far but need 8 for the first 5,000 miles), but I have a batch of 8 flights over the Easter period: it will be interesting to see how and when the bonuses are given: I'm expecting the 5,000 after the first half of my trip and then 3,000 more on its completion - but there's only 3 days between the two lots of flights, so that'll no doubt confuse the FB machinery.

It looks to me they wait until the end of the month to give the awards.
I did 10 segments in march and both awards came april 2nd.
6th segment for the first award was on the 25th, 9th segment for the second award on the 28th.
My 11th segment for the third and last award will take place on the 9th, so i presume i will see the award appear around the beginning of may if they indeed credit them at the end of the month.

While it took a number of days for my flight segments to register, my bonus promptly arrived two days after the segments were registered (quite unexpectedly, I might add). Good to see that AF/KL understands the concept of instant gratification.

Mine was for 9,000 miles on 6 flights.
3,000 for the first three
3,000 for the next two
3,000 for the next one
Guess this promo is really targeted, taking historic flight data into consideration (four SkyTeam legs for me, last year during the promo period).

The 1st batch of the miles promo have just been credited on my FB account and it's not linked to the end of the month. I needed 10 flights for this 1st credit and the 10th was on monday april 11. The bonus miles were credited on friday april 15. So it seems that it's just a few days after your last qualifying flight.
