Bought miles <12/31- when does 10% bonus post?

I'm working to accumulate miles towards a couple of unrestricted Business TATLs and bought 60K miles last year. Ripoff, I know, but that plus the 25K I just got for the AA MC get me within 10K. According to aa.com, you got 10% more miles if you purchased by 12/31/08. I bought on 12/30/08 and the 60K showed up almost immediately. Haven't seen the extra 6K yet.

Any idea on when these will show up- maybe my next regular statement? Thanks.

I believe the site said around 6 weeks for bonus miles to post.

You could have gotten a 20% bonus. Need to spend more time on Flyertalk.

That would be 6 weeks after the end of the promo.
True the OP bought them near the end, but I wanted to clarify this for others.
I believe the actualy text said 6 to 8 weeks after the end of the promo.

Thanks! Part of me is annoyed that they can't post them when you make the purchase, but I realized it will take at least that long for the additional miles I need from the credit card (just charged well over the required $750 yesterday) and a trip I'm taking next month to post. I have to be patient.

gemac, you're probably right- I did all this hastily over the holidays and when I found out about the 10% bonus it was near the end of the year so I moved quickly. I've gotten plenty of "extras" from hanging out here, starting with a Platinum Challenge in 2004!
