I have made 5 visits to restaurants this month and the only one that has posted is a $3 charge at Jack in the Box when I was driving by and picked up a Diet Coke (and it posted the next day). It's particularly annoying because I'm not used to having to retain receipts. I guess that's now in the past. Anyone know what's going on or having similar experiences? (And yes, the credit cards used are linked with the program.)

YMMV - make sure you can show it was on the right card.

So... a question I pose to the FT Mob of Experts...
Did I make a mistake by making a restaurant purchase on the last day of my billing cycle? I got the $25 credit 7 days later. But a couple of days prior to that, I made another purchase and haven't received my $25 credit which tends to arrive 7 days later.
My plan now is to see if the credit appears on my next statement (Ending Feb 9th). If so, I will not make another restaurant purchase on that card until the cycle closes... Think now I'm only going to get $275 credits... Was aiming to get the $300 max credit...

Yeah... You're right... wrong thread as this perk pertains to AMEX Plat/ Brillant card holders. I just was hopeful one of the AA AMEX members would read this as no one responded to my post in the AMEX forum a few weeks ago.
Cheers!

Mostly as an experiment, I made small purchases from AAdvantage dining restaurants near my house on both 2/28 and 3/1. It will be interesting to see how the miles/LPs post for each of them.

Does anyone have a recent data point on how long the 1000 point bonus for signing up and dining takes to post onto your AA account? It showed up on my AA Dining account pretty quickly but it’s been a month and the miles still haven’t posted to my AAdvantage account.
