Situation
A recent flight transatlantic flight on AA (BA codeshare) did not trigger the "Special Promotion - Double Avios". This would have been 7th flight during the promo period.
Complication
A subsequent BA transatlantic flight has posted and triggered the double Avios and is my 10th flight according to the promo (but actually my 11th qualifying flight by my reckoning)
There is a very small Avios difference in my favour
Resolution?
Do nothing? If the AA flight posts eventually I might luck out and at worst will be a few hundred Avios worse off if this triggers a retroactive correction.
Try to claim for the AA flight? Too much effort for at best approx. 4000 avios.
What would Randy do?

I think it falls to me to welcome you, ROE100, to the BA board here on Flyertalk. Staying in touch with this forum is probably the best way to make sure you don't lose out on offers such as this. I hope we will see more of you presently.

First set of flights flown last week that were booked after registering for the promotion and no double bonus posted. 4 segments in total flown last week with AA, 2 international and 2 US domestic internal on 2 separate booking, all 4 segments only at standard Avios. According to the FAQ double bonus should be at time of posting, not at the end of the promotion period as with some others, so are there any known or orgoing problems with this promotion?

Booked a city break to BCN through BA Holidays for a few days between last Xmas and New Year. On my return i noted the Double Avios for the flight element, but not the holiday element.
Wrote to BAH in Feb to claim and had a reply that all Avios had been awarded. I was not happy, but didn't persevere.
Then today, I logged on to my account to see if any change in booking/status for our forthcoming trip to MRU, and noticed that on July 20th, just under 7 months after the BCN trip, they have now added the additional Avios!
