I just tried again and got offered only a sweepstakes entry. I didn't subscribe, I closed down the window. I don't know what it takes to be offered these promotions and it is very frustrating. We are platinum (via challenge) and would have been gold without the challenge so I guess we should qualify as good customers. Has anyone ever tried calling up to request a "targetted email"?

Regarding the targeted aspect of this promotion, here's the relevant rule:

2a. Persons subscribing to at least one American Airlines email product on the promotional microsite: During the Promotion Period, you will receive: i. All recipients of the targeted email have been pre-registered with the opportunity to enter the American Airlines Travel Brain Sweepstakes. In order to finalize the pre-registration, you must click on the link listed in the email sent to each targeted recipient, click to Subscribe to at least one (1) email product on the "Submit" button on the Subscribe page of the microsite. Upon submitting the Subscribe page, you will be entered into the drawing for the prize. Limit (1) entry per person through email product enrollment (regardless of the number of email products in which an individual enrolls). b. No Purchase Necessary: During the Promotion Period, you will receive: i. iOne (1) entry when you complete the non-targeted sweepstakes microsite, which is an official entry form online at www.aa.com/brain. Fill out the required information (including your first and last name, email address and AAdvantage number) and click "submit" to enter the site. Upon clicking the "Submit" button on the Subscribe page of the microsite, you will be entered into the drawing for the prize. Limit (1) entry per person. ii. One (1) additional entry by forwarding the sweepstakes information to up to four (4) other individuals who would otherwise be eligible to enter the sweepstakes from www.aa.com/aatravelbrain. You may return to the site and refer additional friends, but you will not receive additional entries by using this method of entry. c. Limit two (2) entries per person, per AAdvantage number, regardless of entry method.
Only one of my family members received the targeted email, which specfies a limit of 1,500 bonus mails that can be earned. That person then referred the other 3 family members, all of whom received invitations to participate. Two of them were able to sign up for certain additional emailings based upon how many mailings they were already receiving. All told, the original recipient and those other 2 family members will receive between 500-1500 bonus miles (one for each additional mailing to which they subscribed.)

Yours truly, who is apparently maxed out on mailings, only got an entry in the sweepstakes. And the person doing the referring received an extra entry in the sweepstakes.

And if anyone is trying to figure out the criteria for receiving the targeted email, consider this: the family member who received it was registered only for AAdvantage Summary email, and at the time she received the targeted mailing had precisely zero miles in her account.

When did you enroll? The T&C says: "After 90 days, the AAdvantage bonus miles will be automatically deposited into the individuals AAdvantage account and will post within six (6) weeks after the three-month enrollment date."

So even if you signed up the first day of this thread (January 16), the 90-day period ends April 16, and then it's up to 6 more weeks to post to your account. That means it could be approximately June 1 or later before the miles post, depending on the enrollment date.

For those of you who just saw this thread today (like me), this promotion has expired.
