Don't forget these other questions for the FAQ...
1. My husband / wife / SO / child / dog received the email and they have no status but I did not. WHY?
2. When will my miles post? It has been at least 90 minutes since my flight was complete.
3. How long will my status last?
4. Where is the link on aa.com?
5. Where is LGA?
6. I see that DFW - LGA - DFW works, will LGA - DFW - LGA?
7. If my return leg is after June 30, will I still get credit?

Taliesin,
Is that how you are going to justify it if you don't receive the email?
The offer shows up on the bonus offers page even if you are not logged into your account.

Hence, not stackable...
The only hiccup would be if you tried a direct flight (stopping in DFW) between SFO/LAX/SNA and LGA with a single flight number. That would negate both promos.
Now let's see if they honor it for everyone that registers before they pull it from the web.

Note: This offer is valid only for AAdvantage members who receive this email directly from American Airlines.
If it doesn't give you a bonus when it specifically says it won't, how is that a bug by any stretch of the imagination?

Makes me feel better than I should get at least 103,000 EQMs when I hit EXP.Edit: This is what I get for posting in the middle of an all-nighter, I didn't bother to check your math.

Difference between restricted and targeted - all the offers are restricted in some way, at least by route or date. DEQ11 by mailing address as well. But targeted offers, i.e. "Only eligible if you got this email" offers, generally do not ever appear on the viewable by everyone AA.com offers webpage, correct?

We live in NY and did not get email for this offer. Wondering how AA set up their target group.

At least with it being explicit in the body of the offer, the agents don't have to spend as much time looking for confirmation that said people are not in fact covered. (Did I catch enough FAW's in one post?)

I live in XYZ and did not get the offer. Does anyone know know how they decide who gets targeted?
No one here knows. Probably no one at AA knows. And even if someone did know, they wouldn't post it here, even if they did read this thread.
Cheers.

Suggestion for FAQ addition:

I would just like to say... The FAQ while in jest is a really good idea. 99% of the questions are the same over and over with every DEQM promtions.
So, it would probably be good to create a standard FAQ for DEQM promotions that one of our nice mods can add to the start of each of these threads.

You actually would get 100,008 EQM in 18 roundtrips on this route with the promo. I wonder if this is the smallest margin by which you can make EXP by EQM on a single route, or is there a route that's an integral factor of 100K?
