I'll post the details at some point maybe someone can make sense of it.

I seem to have gotten about 5500 PQM. I had 1 p.s flight in BF and 1 on a W fare which is supposedly ineligible.

Anyway happy holidays to all hope your miles post as well.
What was the date of your flight? How long did it take to post?

My BF flight was dec 11th. The W flight just this week the 21st.

I can't think of any other reason I would have gotten bonus PQM.

Anyway.

Tomorrow I will post the details and maybe someone can sort it out and that will help someone plan end of year last minute activity

Cheers

Nice, have 3 flights that qualify and still haven't gotten my bonus. Been over 6 weeks now for the Nov 3rd flight. PQM ended at 99830, would have been over but for 2 cancelled flights rebooked on AA this month.

My lord.

Well it seems like the very random PQM that were posted to my account may have been just that. Random.

I was at 96,566 and expecting my 3500 bonus to top 100000. I showed 102022 for a while when I posted here. God knows why. Now they have bumped me back down to 96566. Although I still show as a 1k.

I did a MR on 21 December to get me to 96566 so I'd pop 1k this year with my 3500 p.s. Bonus miles as I am expecting to fly a lot in 2016. There were some small IRR ops but I don't think that would have given me more random PQM. The MR did include a p.s. Segment but like I said it was in W.

Has anyone had the promo RPUs post yet?

I opted for RPUs and did LAX-EWR-LAX on a P fare. So far no RPUs with June 2016 expiry in my account and I have a Feb PS segment I'd like to apply the short expiry RPUs before the 2017 RPUs.

Update - the good news is that MP email gets a reply in a few hours. After a couple emails, I got a reply that RPU will post 6-8 weeks after the flights. The bad news is that I want to apply one now for a February segment, and these promo RPUs are only valid to June 30, 2016. I guess I will try to call in and see if they can manually post them.

Update #2 - I called and spoke with a CSR (which was a bizarre conversation), and then a Supervisor. They said I'll get an email within 48 hours. I'll update then.

My Nov 16 and 17th EWT-SFO U and Q fare flight haven't posted their bonus miles yet... I know it counts towards this year's miles for status, but I can't help but be a but antsy since I need it to qualify for gold next year. Lots of travel planned next year too.

I did a flight on the first possible day (10/25) and 10/27 and haven't gotten anything yet.

I enquired with MP, who told me that they will probably start posting in the "first week of January." No apologies, no reasons given. That's just the way it is.

I'll meet 1K requirements when the bonus PQMs post. I spoke with a MP agent yesterday that assured me that my segments qualified and that status would be granted when the miles posted. Still a bit uneasy looking at 98600 PQMs on 12/31 without the bonus. Fingers crossed that all works out to maintain 1K.

Update: The points just posted within the last hour. Back as a 1K for 2016.

Happy New Year
