It's not a day on which I did a $25 dine, it's not the same as my "min $150 spend" AA-elite bonus (that was attributed with different wording 01/30/08), and while it's the day that the $25 dine promo started, it's not the day I registered.

Interesting, my wife has no AA status. And yes, she is signed up for the 250 bonus, but this one posts differently.

It's your AA elite (GLD/PLT/EXP) bonus for spending over $150 in one month

In addition to the 500 mi bonus for the $150 in January, I also got a "Dining - Thank You Bonus" for 500 mi as well. Anyone know what this is? Not that I'm complaining though

OK, sorry, appears I may be incorrect as kebosabi reported in one of the other threads that this was an additional 500 mi bonus (not the AA elite bonus)...

There's further discussion of this 500-mile mystery over in the please-post-bonuses thread. Perhaps those posts should be moved to this thread.

Edit:
Checking my account on aa.rewardsnetwork.com, there's a message that references this as "valued member thank you miles." Curiously, the message's column with the credit card partial number cites the credit card with which I originally registered for idine years ago, a card that no longer exists and no longer is registered.

Another datapoint - Mrs. dstan, who is a new member as of Dec 07, did NOT receive this bonus. I was intrigued by ZeppoX's post about this being credited under an old card and mine was posted under a card I haven't used since last summer. Perhaps this is a hint. How long have those receiving the bonus been members vs those who have not received it?
