In all similar AA promos in the past tickets purchased before the promotion but flown within the promotion period received the bonus miles. Based on that precedent, I am hopeful this will still be the case. However, in past similar BA promotions previously purchased tickets were excluded, but AA tends to be more inclusive about this.
Based on past promotions, every eligible TATL crossing immediately gets half the bonus, irrespective if it is rt or not, irrespective which side of the pond originates, and irrespective if it is part of a longer trip. I hope all these still apply.
Btw, this is an improved version of the past promos, because now BA/IB/etc marketed flights also count (it used to be only AA marketed flights counted).
This is great for me, as I have three super discounted J tickets within the time period, so I am getting all 50k miles. So cool!! Too bad there is a cap of two trips! Last year I would have gotten 115k bonus miles!

Agreed that the two cap is a bummer, I will just credit any other J flights to ba over the two ba has run their own version of this promo each year so one can spread out the joy 😃

Not 125k RDM?
Cool way to encourage business fares to purchase. The only thing is I am surprised they are not pushing for 125k just like they did a year ago for up to five round trips.
Kudos to AA, still.^

Yes, if BA runs an equivalent promo I will also credit any surplus trips to them, however, as I said, BA historically has not given the bonus miles for trips booked before the promo was announced, so that could be a problem.

I believe this promo also indirectly supports the idea that the new revenue based RDM system won't go into effect at least until end of July. I am not 100% sure, but that's what it means I think.

I will be EXP for the last time in july so I will wait and see if ba does offer the same deal as AA again if so I may jump on that bandwagon as theres no futher bonus at AA and no reason to over credit EQMs either... But it is a HUGE drop from last years promotion for sure!

30k avios for $450 is it a good deal? I am saving mine in hopes of the return of that miraculous conversion to $767.
