Did this yesterday (changing 10 to 20 in the URL).
The email receipt mentioned only the straight number of miles (60,000 in my case). Of course only these posted a couple of days later (this morning to be exact).
Any way to confirm I'm in line for the 20% bonus, short of calling AAdv CS?
Edging toward 2MM ...
TIA,

Has anyone had their bonus, either 10% or 20%, post yet? It does say 6 to 8 weeks so the bonuses for miles purchased early in Nov should be posting soon.

I was going to transfer some miles today, but the link which previously offered me the 20% bonus, now just mentions that you can transfer up to 100,000 miles up to 31 Dec. I wonder whether I will still get the bonus?

Mine did the same thing.
Look in the URL location line, and it shows the promotion code in there.
I also called AA CS to confirm that everything was all right, and web services said it should go through fine, though after a 6-8 week delay for the bonus.
I copied the bonus codes from the URL, and I have the e-mail, in case I need to call back.

I need to do three transfers today to my father's account (inefficient but I'm holding 3 oneworld 150 awards until 1/4). I'd love to get the bonus miles but when I go to the Share Miles page, it doesn't show anything about a bonus. I can't find the email that I must have received, but on previous visits to that page, it did show a 10% bonus. Can I still get the bonus? If so, can someone walk me through this?

I could not get this link to work. I did, however, go through normal channels on AA to get to the buy miles page, and I was offered the 10% bonus. I looked at the web address, and there was a code in the middle of it " PROMOCODE=AAWINTER08BUY10"
I changed the "1" in "10" to a "2" and got offered 20%.

Plus it doesn't appear that there is any way to ask points.com a question, at least not through the buy, share or transfer page. Guess they will lose my business. If I can't be assured of the 10% or 20% bonus, why rush to spend my money! I've been going back and forth about whether to buy and this decided me.
