I transfered 1000 to me and 1000 to my wife, just in case the give 5K to each linked account.

Worse yet, Amex shows that I did THREE transfers of 1000 points.
I'm thoroughly confused.

Go to Use points => transfer points => FF programs
Then select BA and enter the # points you want to transfer in box 2
You will then be asked to enter the Name and account #
The go to checkout.
I successfuly made a transfer from my Amex MR account yesterday to my wife's account, and the transferred points are there now in her BAEC account.

I wonder who is actually giving the 5K bonus, AMEX or BA. If it is AMEX, it will be easy for them to enforce this bonus. If it is BA, it seems less so.

What were your transaction dates?
I posted 1K into the same BA account from 3 separate MR accounts. 1 posted today (transaction date dec 18), no additional bonuses on the other (transaction dates dec 21 and Jan 7).
I'm wondering if there is a lag (If I recall, it originally said bonus miles would post after Feb 28th) or if I gambled and only broke even?
