The N&F T&Cs say, "Nights & Flights Awards must be ordered at least 14 business days prior to the arrival date for a U.S. airline and at least 30 business days prior to arrival for a non-U.S. Airline. This will allow for processing of the airline transfer portion of the award."
So it sounds to me as if SPG shouldn't have an objection to moving the date to fewer than 14 days as long as the airline transfer has already completed successfully. The 14-day restriction allows SPG to be sure that the airline portion completes successfully before the stay begins.
Whether a CSR is allowed to do so, I do not know.

As posted above, I think the timing is so that the airline award can post so that you can use those miles for the same stay. If the PP doesn't have a current need for the miles and the hotel has availability, I think the PP will be able to book the desired dates at the time they request the award, even if they are less than 14 days out. -- Suzanne

Whether or not American Airlines AAdvantage could sort it out for you without our assistance, I have no idea.

I have booked the Nights portion of a Nights & Flights award less than 14 days in advance more than once.

Does anyone know when is the cutoff for such transfers to be posted on Sunday and thereby hit your AA account?
This Sunday is the last go-around that will be eligible for the AA bonus, I believe, and therefore, all transfers would need to be wrapped up by this weekend or perhaps by Friday at the latest(?), and not on 6/30 -- which is techincally the last day of the promotion.

Thank you for pointing this out!!
I did not know that the AA Lurker had opined on this issue, nor that it had been mentioned in this thread! ^
I had missed that mention in that post, and inasmuch as others had been wondering when their miles would post, I thought that it was an open issue.

Had a question.
Can I make two transfers (40K and 20K) in one day as long as I don't exceed the 60K in one day.
Or do I have to stagger my two transfers above by 24 hours?
Does anyone know the cutoff to get miles to transfer by tomorrow? Is it today or early tomorrow.
Thanks!

I've only transferred from SPG to air miles once. In post #105 they say that if you transfer 60K starpoints you end up with 101,250 AA points. What am I missing? I come up with 81,000 AA points and when I called AA that's the figure they gave me as well. Thanks for the help. They also confirmed that if you do the transfer within the dates stated you will get the bonus. No worrying about only posting the points on Sundays.

I look this morning expecting to see 67.5K miles added to my AA account. (40K SPG transfer) and instead there is only 50K. What happened?

I also see a 75K miles deposit but like you don't yet see the 35% bonus points.
Based on some previous posts in this thread, the 35% bonus points will show up as a different transaction. Maybe it will take a day or two for that one to show up. I wouldn't worry too much yet, give it a day or so.

Last Sunday morning when I checked, both the transfer and the bonus had posted. This morning, only the week's transfers are shown.

Also xfered 60k SPG points and only got 75k AA miles. My guess is that if it doesn't post by tomorrow, then AA is prolly waiting until the end of the promotion period (30 June) to post the remaining bonuses.
