Bonus miles from purchase of miles before 31 Dec 11
 
Hi

I purchased some miles on 31 december 2011. The bonus miles are supposed to post within 6 to 8 weeks of the end of the promotion. We hit 8 weeks on Saturday. I was just wondering if anyone has received their bonus miles yet.

Cheers

i called about this yesterday because i had two transactions for the 6k bonus. no miles and they said they extended the promo through Jan so I had to wait. No happy. I bought them for an award and i'm 12k short!

Certainly not encouraging for someone like me, who bought miles just before the 31Jan deadline which was then extended by a month to end of February!

If they are treating all of it (Dec/Jan/Feb) as one promotion, then I guess no-one's going to get any bonus miles till up to 8 weeks after the end of February...? For the same reason as everyone else who's waiting for their bonus miles, I sincerely hope this is not going to be the case.

Are you talking about the bonus EQM? DEQAA?

No, this thread is about the bonus miles for miles purchases.

That is a shame. I feel that they are 2 different promotions. The one to 31 Dec offered 20k bonus miles and the one since christmas has only offered 15k miles. If they were extending the promotion then surely they should have kept the same offer of bonus miles.

I was hanging on to book a F award, I guess i will just book the J award now. Does anybody know that once I get the miles and if the F award is still available can i change that without penalty?

I think they will charge $ 150 for changing but not 100% sure about that.

AFAIK, it is not a written benefit, but most agents will waive the fee if you are upgrading to a higher cabin.

Thanks for letting us know about this issue. We're currently looking into the problem and hope to have more information soon! Thank you for your continued patience.

Yes true. zero bonus miles, but my AAvantage balance is currently sitting at -7000+. That's negative 7K, 'cause I was able to ticket my AAward booking with CS knowing I was short the 15K from the bonus.

I have to say, AA has been good to us over the years.

Looks like my bonus from December showed up this evening.
