Miles usually post on Bask website on the second business day of the month, to AA a day or 2 later.
Check the "Rewards" section of your Bask dashboard or the Recent Activity section of your AA account.
Current earn rate as of June 2023: 2.5 miles/dollar/year, awarded monthly (no LP's).

Questions on BankDirect, now Bask Bank (consolidated)

I have question regarding BankDirect's New Certificate of Deposit. Here is the info copied from Bankdirect.com:
Earn 1,000 miles for every $1,000 invested in a two-year Mileage CD purchase up to $200,000. Additionally earn 25 miles per $1,000 invested over $200,000.**
Earn 500 miles for every $1,000 invested in on a one year Mileage CD purchase up to $200,000. Additionally earn 25 miles for $1,000 invested over $200,000.**
Earn 250 miles for every $1,000 invested in a six month Mileage CD purchase up to $200,000. Additionally earn 25 miles per $1,000 invested over $200,000.**
is the earned miles paid by month? otherwise it does not make any sense. For example, if you have $1,000, it will generate 100 miles each month if you put the money in the checking account, over the six months, you will get 600 miles. but you only get 250 miles if you lock it in a six month Mileage CD. And you get less miles if you lock the money for longer CD. The bank makes more money out of CD than the regular checking. It seems not true here at BankDirect? or I misunderstood it?
Thanks

Amazing that no one started complaining yet that their monthly miles haven't posted. Had a calm come over FT?
In any event, I see my miles now on the BD site, so I expect we'll all see them on AA after midnight, Texas time.

Bank Direct referral?
I am planning on opening bankdirect AA saving account. My understanding is it pays 100 miles per month for every $1000 in the account. Is that correct? Also any bonus for using a referal from someone who already has an account?
Thanks
Thanks

Yes. 100 miles per month per $1000.
For referral, both parties get an bonus 1000 miles.
PM me for referral.

No dice. It would be Tuesday the earliest I am afraid.
I haven't paid close attention on when it shows up in AA account but tend to remember it is just a day or so after it shows up in BD account. Dont recall the time lapse ever is longer than 2 days.

BD is good and doing something different every month. Who knew they could come up with so many permutations of what should be an automated process?

Hate this uncertainty!!!
Really hate that we have to wait for unspecified number of days to see miles in the account. Why it can't be a specific date every single month just like the monthly charge which is always on the last working day? Why is there no uncertainty in the monthly charge assessed date?

Just treats BD is a necessary evil and you would be less upset.
Talk about automatic process, I have AS debit card from BofA that earns 1 mile for every $2 spent - the posting dates also vary a great deal - from the 6th the earliest to 12th in one month when BofA said they had some difficulty... More in the norm is the 9th about 1/2 of the time. Now you would think this is month after month after month a standard procedure, why would they not run on the same date with fixed schedule, barring weekend and holidays involved?!

On BD, it says miles posted on 7/6/12, but not showing up on AA on 7/9/12. I don't remember the delay between it posting on BD and showing up on AA to be this long before.
