2/2014: 10,000 mile annual bonus
2/2015: 10,000 mile annual bonus
2/2016: 10,000 mile annual bonus
3/2013: 35,000 first time bonus
9/2013: 15,000 miles bonus for $500/mo x3 months spending

Exact timing of bonus posting vs. when it said it did
I'm still getting mine, but I have a question. In the past it's had a posting date of December 15 or 16 on my account. But I don't know whether the miles actually showed up on those dates or they showed up later and were back-dated. Anyone know? I have an award (which I'm currently 5k points shy of affording) that I could put on hold on December 12 if I'm reasonably sure the miles will show up by the 17th.
Thanks,
Seth

Glad I noticed this thread because I checked and my wife's 10K miles didn't post this month as they should have, so will have her follow up.

Does anyone know if this is an error they haven’t caught yet, for those of us who came over from the Dividend Mes card? I also continue to get the 10k bonus miles each anniversary, even though I barely use the card. That plus the free bags on the 1-2 times a year I fly AA these days makes the $95 worth it.
Wonder if I’m still getting annual electronic Admirals Club passes? Haven’t stopped by a club to check in years to check.

Once upon a time, the card gave lounge passes. But that benefit is long gone. Here's one thread about them:
LUS: Complimentary Barclays US MC US Club Day Pass - Use in Admirals Club?
IIRC, the miles benefit was changed from 10K anniversary miles to 10% back on redemptions (up to 10K/yr), but holders who had been getting the anniversary miles had that benefit grandfathered. What amazes me is that I'm getting both the 10K and the 10%. So in some years, the card gives me 20K miles, a no-brainer for the annual fee.

Quick question here, please. I am one of the people who got Aviator when it was 10K miles every year. It posts every year for me. My question is that my fee is due now. But they seem to have already given me these miles, before I pay the fee. If I close down the card, will they take the miles back?
