I believe that any one account can only get a maximum of 50k bonus miles from each of the 3 catagories.
Gift = 50k bonus
Buy = 50k bonus
Share = 50k bonus
It doesn't matter how many members are involved in the transactions. Bottom line is no more than 150k in bonus miles.

[Edit: The term and condition is not clear, to me it reads as limit the one who transfer "out" but not limit the one who transfer "in".]
2. If you do 1), your wife can't transfer 50k to you in 2).

I guess I'll have to be content with moving 50k from my wife's account to get an extra 100k in mine.

Recieving 100k is not a problem i suppose?
So giving away 50, recieving 50 and the limited 50 in bonus, correct?

I have 200K miles I want to share with my 4 family members, 50k each. This is a case with one sender/multiple recipients. Will all my family members receive 50k bonus miles? Will the transferred miles can be returned back to my account? I understand one account can receive upto 50k bonus.

Transferring miles back to your account will cost, and you will be limited to receiving the 50K bonus once.

I want to confirm for this before my transaction because I hope there is no 50k "transfer out" limit for bonus. Had anyone transfer 50k A -> B, 50k A -> C, and both B and C get 50k bonus? (or whatever the total bonus amount is > 50k but from the same account A)

100,000 miles for about $1500
US is offering a 100% bonus on buying miles. This comes out to about 66 miles per dollar. Not a bad deal at all!

I purchased some miles 11 hours ago (50k) and they have still to appear in the account.
It says all purchases will be confirmed within 4 hours. Has something gone tits up here? Do I need to contact anyone

Just like NWA did with Worldperks and Delta did with sky miles and AA did with One way awards ( no stopovers)
C'com do you really think there would ever be a decent race period, If any grace period at all?

OT, but AA one way is a beautiful thing. Can't please everyone, I realize. Some would rather make the complex bookings with stopovers but I'd love it if US would allow one way for half the miles. I'd need UA to do the same though, to burn the wife's miles. As it is, with my AA miles I'll book one way with them and one way with BA miles since I don't have enough in either for the two round trips in C/J I need.

I was told by the rep that there was a 50k limit on any transaction per account. So even if you are the sender, you may have a 50k limit
But I can tell you that if you try to send it, you will get a message if there is no bonus.
50k extra in each
It is better to structure it as 50k A > B, B>C, C>A
That way B & C will both have 50k left and A will have 50k more.
100k & 50k extra
If you do 25K A >B, A>C each. then have 50k B>D, 50k C>A
you can end up with 100k in 1 account and an extra 50 in the first.
This will still be within the rules.

I am not sure if more than 1 recipient will get bonus.

Important Notice
The bonus limit for this promotion is 50,000 miles. Your recipient has already received 50,000 miles, therefore your bonus for this transaction is capped at 0 miles.
