I have heard dates such as July15, July 6, and most recently July 10 - or sometime over the weekend - as posting dates for the last batch of miles from this promo. All from AA C/S themselves. Also, the mileage has supposedly been for flights after May, June 2, or June 6. Take your pick. AA C/S does not seem to have a firm, let alone consistent, answer to this query. When it comes to mileage, most of us are rightfully "sticklers" for making sure it posts - hopefully in a timely manner. Timely for AA is always delaaaayed when it comes to posting (Ever wonder why it takes your account being down all weekend for you monthly summary to update? Or why Plat upgrade stickers take so long to post after earning but come out of your account the same day they are used?) Bad programming, antiquated sytems, or something more nefarious? Who knows? Your answer is as good as mine. I wonder how much time the C/S reps have spent on dealing with this one question? Regardless, this seems to be one of those instances where the mileage will post at some unknown time and date when AA decides to post it. |

I'd venture to say that they have not received many calls beyond a few FT folks since most other people would be able to read and comprehend the T&Cs for the promotion. And, despite what we think, there are not enough of us to matter. Cheers. |

Well, I thought they might do the DBEQM miles at the same time they do the other account tallying. One customer associate on the phone told me they'd run the rest of the DBEQM miles on July 6th. They say 6 to 8 weeks, but that's to give themselves room so that if something goes wrong they'll have time to try again before they hit 8 weeks and are out of compliance with their terms.

What is surprising is that AA is running this right down to the deadline. Never heard of Murphy's law, I guess. You also surely noticed this post:

With a "flights posted" cutoff date of around June 5 or 6, I would expect the next posting to be 8 weeks from that cutoff date (that's what they did this time - waited until the last possible instant). That would put the next posting around July 31 or Aug. 1.
It will not be necessary for our members to post to this thread periodically asking if anybody has gotten their miles posted. Based on past experience, such an event is hardly likely to go by without comment. Lots and lots of comment. |
I spoke to AA customer service today and the nice lady on the other end of the phone told me that they were supposed to run this past weekend but there was a problem with the batch. She said to check back next week.

Unnecessary personal exchanges have been deleted. Everyone would be well advised to take some time now to review the FlyerTalk Guidelines:
Personal Attacks - link to this guideline We encourage a healthy exchange of opinions. If you disagree with another member, challenge the opinion or idea - not the person. Personal attacks, insults and "flaming" will not be tolerated and will be removed, and the violator will be subject to disciplinary action. You may challenge others' points of view and opinions, but do so respectfully and thoughtfully. Attacks against groups or classes of job holders (such as Transportation Security Administration employees) will not be tolerated. Do not retaliate or respond to a personal attack. Too often, when an initial attack is made, others join the fray and, instead of becoming part of the solution, become part of the problem. Do not accuse others of being trolls.

To do that, click on MyFlyerTalk and then on Buddy/Ignore Lists in the Miscellaneous section on the left-hand side of the page.

If someone wasn't "planning" for something pending the outcome of DBEQM, then it likely wouldn't matter whether the posting of said miles were either slow or frustrating, nor would they likely attach angry "emoticons" to there post. Furthermore, the rest of your comments actually helped make my point; the rumor mill here for posting dates is wildly inaccurate. They will post when they post. Regards |

Just hoping that June 6th, 7th and 14th post before July 27th. Only need one, but likely all will post. :)

The double EQM's have posted.

Yes, it appears they have.
BTW, for a little perspective; there was a great deal of wasted energy on this thread attempting to predict when the DBEQMs would post (both batches). Numerous "an AA CS rep told me..." and so on. As best I can tell neither of the actual dates that the batches posted on were very accurately predicted (I don't recall seeing July 18th as one of the "AA told me..." dates) Perhaps there is a lesson in there somewhere for future promos, no? (again probably too much to ask for on FT) Well, congrats to all those that haven't been sleeping at night over this, perhaps everyone can get some rest now! ;) Regards |
