Do they appear as a transaction in the "view my miles" section or do they just get added to the YTD Elite Qualifying Miles balance in the summary?

A pre-promotion purchase ticket that has been cancelled and had its residual value applied to pay for a new reservation (i.e., new record locator) and new ticket (with an entirely different itinerary) still may have a date notation in the ORIGINAL ISSUE field on the passenger receipt that pre-dates the start of the promotion.
Will AA's system batch run for calculating the DBEQM promotion rely upon the DATE OF ISSUE noted on the passenger receipt and/or PNR creation date, or will it (also) look into info stored in the ORIGINAL ISSUE field that may have some date info there?

My 4/7-4/9 MIA-LAS-MIA DBEQM posted on or about 4/25 and launched me well into Gold status.
My 4/19-4/22 MIA-LAS-MIA hasn't posted yet but at 8,700 EQMs per round trip, when it does post I'll be just one trip shy of Platinum status, and I'm doing the same trip again this Sunday ^
The nicest thing about all of this is that my assistant randomly booked a whole whack of trips for me on exactly the date the promotion started, and had she booked them a day earlier I would be p**sed, mightily

I registered and got confirmation of the registration for the DBEQM promotion on March 26, which was prior to any travel. All of my travel was booked and purchased after March 18th and have traveled plenty prior to the 4/15 date that appears to be a cutoff for these most recent postings. I have received zero bonus eqms. I called AAdvantage and was told by a rep that I should not be concerned as the postings shouldn't start until April 30th. So I'm not sure if they are randomly updating accounts or what.

When I called last week, they told me that the DBEQMs wouldn't post until 6 to 8 weeks after the conclusion of the promo on June 15, (around the end of July) so it looks like they are getting just as much varied information as we are!

I believe this is in the T&C you read (didn't you?) before signing up. It was quite clear as I recall.

Just got this email from AA:
Thank you for participating in our Double Elite-Status Qualifying Miles promotion for travel booked and flown starting March 18, 2009, and continuing through June 15, 2009 (Promotion Code DBEQM).
A total of 4,350 additional elite-status qualifying miles have been posted to your account based on your flight activity as of April 18, 2009. As you continue to fly during the offer period, you will receive additional email notifications regarding the posting of double elite-qualifying miles.
When I saw the heading I went straight to my account and was disappointed to see that my last trip, April 19-22, had actually not been included... but then I read the rest of the e-mail "flight activity as of April 18, 2009" and it was all good.
The strange thing is, these miles were posted already, last week. So the e-mail was a week late
