Actually think the DL posting is a GOOD thing, if it was from recent money xfer. The DL and AA offers are identical (save you can only do the AA as a new customer), so I see no way Fido wouldn't have changed both at the same time if they were so intent to do so.

I'd wager odds are AA didn't run the tape they got from Fido this weekend yet.

The only thing that seems to be routine is that miles post on Saturday. I would probably wait until after next Saturday to inquire if you receive no miles.

As far as the cleared/not cleared part, AA miles for the equivalent of a $100k deposit posted, despite only $25k showing up as "cleared" and $75k showing up as unsettled cash.

There is no way my friend could generate enough AA miles in that time frame.

Thanks for the info.
Seeing as you funded the full 100K and did not get credited the miles, I think this is a somewhat reassuring data point for any Fido AA churner that it might be a glitch.
Have your funds settled?

Off topic, but what is "the other reliable website"? Why not just provide a link?

AA miles didn't show up today either for the record, although wasn't expecting much chance since it's Mem Day.

if you have an activity about funding after business hours, fidelity will locked the account for review until the next business day.
been there done that
I hope you are correct.

That's crap! Especially if you have been making legitimate deposits and so forth. I hope all goes okay for the family member as I don't want it to be a headache but they needed a place to park the money and this seemed like a good opportunity for a couple of domestic tickets for very little effort on their part.

I took part with no problems... We will wait a few days to see if the issue clears itself after everyone is back in the office and working for a day or two.

You are not afraid of $100K being withhold as terms condition stipulated 6 months deposits?

As of today Monday 5/30 night, I have managed to get my 50K Delta points. I received my AA 50K miles on 5/20, then open DL on the following week by just register at the offer link but did not open new account. Confirmed with online rep I did not need to open new account for DL. Left my $$ there, and today got the miles.

Now I will withdraw money soon, maybe wait till Wesneday the month June, because maybe the executive report or logic of determining churning frequency is determined by Month. New month, new counts, hopefully

But i really worry about the 6 months conditions.

This is exactly why I didn't do it yet. The T&C do not say you will need to pay for them so my guess is that they can't charge for them like AMEX does. They can pull them out of your account which is not the end of the world.

I wonder what others think.

It is better to do it NOW than later. They dont have any ability in place currently to detect money cycling/ let alone crawl back the miles like TD does. They might eventually. Do it while you can as they are so pathetic they deserve being scammed because they never put the specific languages in place, nor any mechanism to prevent what is going on.

Always nice to see FTers advocating scamming companies. And the T&Cs are actually very clear that the funding used to earn bonuses has to remain in the account a minimum of 6 months.
