ETA: Oops! I just emailed customer service to ask about AA and they replied:
"This special is only offered for Delta SkyMiles. Currently there are no Specials for AAdvantage."
Oh, well at least we have Delta.

The way I read this is that you can input a coupon code and get the Delta promotion for the actual net discounted purchase.
BUT, if you go through a third party site like Mastercard or Mileage Plus Shopping, the bonus offer is NO GOOD.
See T&C's:

Good deal IMO. Only concern for me is whether a click thru from big crumbs and/or using a 10% discount could invalidate getting the miles. Some discussion on pointsguy's blog that either of those would invalidate. Entering a discount code would seem to be more risky as it's clearly intentional on the part of the buyer (they put the code in), but referrals are not necessarily intentional (could have clicked thru hours before the purchase and come back) and the delta offer shows up regardless of what site you clicked thru.

I did the same thing, but after reading the fine print again I decided to call and ask. They directed me to corporate (866-569-0449) who told me that if you enter both a PROMO code and skymiles number, the skymiles will not post. So although everything goes through and it looks okay, the promo code will cancel out the points promotion.
May or may not be true, but I’d prefer not to chance losing the awesome deal on the miles to save the 10%.

ADDENDUM:
Further evidence a coupon code will probably invalidate the miles can be found here. Note that cashback is invalidated for all of the offers where a coupon code is used. As cashback and miles/points back are treated the same way in terms of the affiliate systems, it follows that miles will be wiped out by the codes too.
