I'm not entirely certain what you're referring to. AA has a few promotions going on now. The most generally useful is EUR00. (The two things at the end are digit zeroes, not letter ohs.) It gets you 5,000 miles for your first economy round trip, more for subsequent ones and/or higher classes of service.
You may have seen a reference to exchanging upgrade "sticker" credits for miles. You get 2,500 miles per sticker. Since you earn four stickers per 10,000 miles flown, this is effectively another 100 percent bonus. That gives the 3x if you're Platinum or EP, as long as you don't want the domestic US upgrades.
If you call about this exchange, it's supposed to be an accommodation for people who can't use upgrade credits at all - usually because almost all their travel is international. It's not a right or a documented part of the program. There have been reports of friendly agents who converted for people who didn't meet this criterion, but that's a favor you can't necessarily count on.

I am not sure what 3x milage you are referring to, but are you thinking about the following:
actual mileage credit
100% bonus for PLT or EXP elite level
100% bonus for TTBNS
The TTBNS was a milage bonus special instituted last year and ended in December in response to 100% bonus offered by UA because of the flight woes of the summer.
Plus, for Europe tirps remember that with the EUR00 bonus miles (through April 15, 2001?), you receive 5k bonus for your first trip, 10K for your second trip, and 15K for your third trip. For example, LAX-LHR earns about 12K miles. So if I am making my third trip under the EUR00 special, I could be effectively earning 3x miles. If I had done three trips while TTBNS was still in effect, my 3rd trip could have been effectively earning me 4x mileage
