I got 1810 points easily in a few minutes, then I thought it would be easy to get enough EQPs, since I had just accrued 5700+ on 22&23-March coming back home from JNB. But the clever buggers decided I needed 10K EQPs ... sounds like a Challenge, doesn't it?

Oh well, I'll get more than the remaining 4300 needed on my outbound to MAD later this month (luckily booked into M inventory, so 100% EQP).

+1 to the comment.

I also proudly avoid Zuckerberg's Monster. Pretty soon, we will be nothing more than the "The Gamesters of Triskelion. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Gam..._of_Triskelion

to AA for such a totally discriminatory "marketing" campaign.

Here is a novel concept-Give EQP, EQM, and segment credit to people for actually buying tickets and occupying seats on scheduled aircraft. I realize its a radical concept. But who knows, it might even catch on!

Definitely seems to be a case of YMMV. My wife signed up on Sunday afternoon and my "Invite Your Friend" stamp didn't post until Wednesday afternoon.

I'm still waiting on the "Fly International" and "Fly OneWorld" stamps - and it's been over a week since those flights have posted to my AA account.

It's been four days since I met the EQP requirement and it hasn't shown up yet. Not a big deal as long as it eventually does.

That's a scary thought -- all of us competing like Gladiators for upgrades, and solely for the amusement of the disembodied gnomes in Revenue Management!!!
Spock, beam me up now!

Wondering if anyone else is having the same issue. I've liked it, but miles still at 0 and when I click on any of links, it goes straight to a page that says, "Congratulations You have earned your passport stamp and American Airlines AAdvantage® bonus miles!" but leaves me at 0 miles still. I can't find anyone to contact about this--any thoughts?

Thanks

Question

Anybody got these miles in their AA acct?
When are we supposed to get them?

I received my "Fly international", "Fly oneworld", "Beat your goal" and Fly & earn bonus stamps today; the relevant flights were taken a week ago. My EQP target was 10k, which seems on the low side for an EXP -- I guess that reflects the fact I hadn't flown a single qualifying flight this year before the promotion began.

T&C says: "Bonus miles will be awarded within 3-4 weeks after the promotion period has ended." So with 50 days left of this promotion, it might be another few months before we see our miles!

Thanks for posting that. I was coming back in here to confirm that mine posted after several days. They must sweep those while the rest post manually. Now I have to decide if it's worth flying aa/us (likely US) with zero status for the bonus miles. I'm thinking yes but it is a tough call. One flight and I could get 7500 miles plus the flight miles though. Seems pretty well worth it.

AA was kind enough to set my EPQ at 1200, which I met with a flight home from SFO which was book before the promotion came out and flown two days before I even signed up for it. As a data point, no status with AA last year, flight was booked in O, before the promotion, and took 7 days after I started the promotion to get the stamp. Easy 3650 points for me!

US flight stamp and bonus stamp posted. Up to 5,875 miles. That and a quarter should buy me a gumball now.

I wonder how this is being set? I am a first year EXP and mine was set at 4650. All of my tickets this year have been full-fare, so it won't be hard to reach, but just wondering how they decide.
