Given BusinessExtra's general competence, they'll probably find a way to subtract 1300 points from your account.

LOL, yea, could be.

I redeemed points for a business class award to Europe that expires this December. Does it have to be redeemed by December or flown by December? I am stressed about finding award inventory since it seems these tickets are tied to biz class award buckets. Does anyone know?

cheers,

Found the same thing today when after reading these follow up posts to the initial one I put up last month. I retried registering and it now shows as a separate bonus promo from the one back in the spring, so expect I'll earn a second 650 points when I fly JFK-ZRH later this month.

I generally use my points for lounge passes since I get NAmerican upgrades as an ExecPlat. AA even sends them by next day FedEx!

I wouldn't say double credits, but if you have both UPGRADE and BX20UPG2, then expect to get a bonus for the summer and a bonus for the fall assuming you have flights in both. I added UPGRADE after my flights in August, but before the statement was generated, and I received the bonus for that. Only UPGRADE was redeemed under promotions, so that's what leads me to think you will get two 650 credits.

If I have a BE ticket flying for example: JFK-LHR, CDG-JFK, can I pay the $150 fee and change the CDG-JFK return to LHR-JFK if space is available? All previous BE ticket changes I have made were to dates with the exact same routing and those have always been allowed at $150 as long as space is available, but wasn't sure if origin/destination changes are allowed.

Like 50ae, I now have two promotions in my account, except i have BX20UPG and BX20UPG2. I am trying to decide if I should book a roundtrip or one-way ticket for next weekend and do an award return since the fares are so high. Do you think booking two revenue one-ways would give me 650 points twice (1300 points total)? Or should I try adding UPGRADE as well if BX20UPG will show up as expired when I go to use it?

Thanks for any advice!

Still kind of confused by this BXPUPG2 and UPGRADE promo.

Do you have to FLY by 30 Sept to get the 650 points, or just REGISTER by then?

Their own T&C page confuses these points.

I also registered for both- flew one round trip (two segments) and received credit for the promotion I registered for first ( I believe it was UPGRADE). Flying this weekend so hoping the second promo will post.

In other news- BE hit an all time low in competence for me- they posted all my flights for July but in every single case (for all participants) only the outbound segment (s) posted.

Edit: looking back it seems this happened to other people as well in July. I'm just a little behind :)

LOL, man this is so messed up. I just logged in and saw they posted 650 points for "20 year Summer Promo" in my account.

I haven't even taken a flight.

Got 650 back in the spring, and 650 a couple of days ago.

No complaints, but what a confused process this has been.

Registered on 9/10 - flew on 9/11 and 9/13 - BX20UPGWELCOME (Enrollment)

Nothing posted yet...
Will it take the whole 6-8 weeks?

Well, I didn't even fly and I got the bonus within a week, ha.

So... who knows. :confused:

Glad you said something about this. I had an outbound that did not post in early July. The inbound did. Didn't notice it until I went back and double-checked.

I had also sent an email to BE support and got a response a day or two later saying the issue with BX20UPG was resolved. Then, magically, sometime this week, I received 650 for UPGRADE and 650 for BX20UPG dated September 15.
I have not had an AA flight since early summer. I guess I missed the original registration and maybe you could actually count flights before the registrations. Either way, a nice 1300 points

Early this year I received points for BX20UPG;
On 9/15 I received 650 for UPGRADE
Now waiting to see if BX20UPG2 post.
