May 9 - July 31, concurrently to the AAdvantage NAS16 bonus miles offer for round trip travel to Europe, Business Extra is offering its own bonus: BXTA16. Up to 1,600 BEX points (fare class dependent) for each round trip to Europe within that time frame.

Just booked a BusExtra award for December (2K transcon) so it will be interesting to see if this is a new, unannounced ExecPlat benefit. Had to use US metal on one of the major transcon sectors (CLT-LAX) so it would be nice to get an upgrade given there really is no extra leg room seating other than bulkhead and exit rows...neither of which I like sitting in but had little choice.

Anyone's July points posted yet? Hoping for the big TATL bonus but worried BA flights aren't going to track right.

I was just checking this offer again and found that it has been extended to Aug 31. Re-posting in case anyone can take advantage of it.

Nothing here and I bet the extension of the promo means these points won't post for awhile. I had some BA flights not post properly a few weeks ago. AA had to manually post the BE points and when I asked about the bonus they said it would be after the promo ended. We'll see if that still applies given the extension.

Just to let everyone know, I was checking my AA business extra account yesterday,
seems a lot of segments are not posting, just in the last 3 months alone, 7 long haul segments did not post for points, most of the reasons were that I never took the flight,
(most on BA), I would advise you all to check your balances and make sure every flight is accounted for. (they will back credit up to a year)

I was flying BOS-DFW last week and had used a pair of BE upgrade certs to F. When I handed them to the GA in BOS, she handed them back and said, "I don't need those for you, you're good to go." I've never not had a GA take the certs before.
Do I need to call BE about them? Can I re-use them? Should I just trash them?

This happened to me LHR-DFW one time from J-->F. I guess I never thought to try and reuse the cert! Doh!

Posting stats on Biz Extra is abysmal for British Airways flights. Had a number of BA biz flights in past months - only one trip posted properly. I did everything I could think of before the trip - call BA and have the numbers entered in by them manually; call Biz Extra before the flights; remind the BA agent at check-in. Just seems to be a structural error between Biz Extra and BA. If this messes up any of those juicy, juicy summer bonuses - there will be words.

I am auditing my account for last several months and seeing several issues. I only have 45 points for $1500 worth of travel this year (all AA metal).
And for last year, I am getting 1pt/$10 of Qualifying Revenue. It shows on the website, it should be 2 pts. So a little confused... what is the earning supposed to look like? Is it 2pts/$10 of Base Airfare or Qualifying Revenue?
