When do Loyalty points post on airfare purchases
Am I correct that the number of Loyalty Points for AA Platinum is 8x the dollars spent on airfare? (spend $1000 on airfare, get 8000 Loyalty Points?)
If I purchase airfare through aa.com, do the Loyalty Point multipliers show up in your account when you purchase the flight or not until the flight has been completed? I spent about $2000 on airfare in April but only received the Loyalty Points from the credit card purchase (AA Aviator from Barclays) of 1:1. When does the Platinum 8:1 show up?
Thanks in advance for any clarification on this.

Ive removed some inaccurate content, and replies thereto, just to be sure people arent confused about LP and mile earning.

The LP's post after each leg of a trip is completed. You'll only earn LP and RDM for completed flights.
IE: You bought a ticket where the base fare is $1,000 for a R/T DFW-ORD-DFW. After flying DFW-ORD you'll receive a portion of the LP and RDM, then after flying ORD-DFW you'll receive the remaining LP and RDM totaling 8k (as a Platinum).
