I don't know anything about the new offer, but several months ago there was a coupon with my AA statement for 125 miles for purchasing a $25 gift card. Those miles have not posted yet... anyone else have this problem?

AA offered me 10,000 miles for signing up with CITIBANK for a Visa or MC. 5,000 after first use of card,then 5,000 six months later. I used card on 5/11/99...its 60 days later and still no posting of miles. I'll give hem 15 more days or a total of 75 days. If not on my account by that time, I plan to call CITIBANK to cancel my MC card and request that my $50 fee be returned.
AA is not too sharp when it comes to posting miles.

I found out about this promotion in my AAdvantage statement back in April. I had to go to 2 Blockbusters to find someone who knew about the promotion and how to apply for the miles. I was surprised that the miles were posted in about a month. I guess it may depend on the individual Blockbuster and how soon they contact AA.

Steve B... My card cost $50 for a year, but as soon as I get my 10,000 miles its bye bye Citibank. A better deal in my opinion is "AAA" Member Select Rewards gold card also $50. They only require 16,000 points for a RT ticket on United or Continental, or 30,000 points for two RT tickets(domestic) and points can also be used for other travel related awards.Such as some motels,car rentals, gasoline. A 100,000 points will even get you a 7 day cruise for two.
Sorry I'm off on a tangent because I really like this card. As a retiree I love those perks.

I have received the Blockbuster coupon twice. Used the first one, and miles posted properly. Never got around to using the second one. Heck, when am I going to rent movies? But Catman has an idea, use it as gifts. As I recall, it does not have to be one $25 certificate...you can break it up into smaller amounts and stuff stockings.

I too have not received my second set of Blockbuster miles (the 125 Mi Promotion.)
Have NOT had time because of a certain continuing and very sad story my workplace is covering.
But I'll call AAdvantage if I don't get my miles soon.
