YES! Today was a great day for miles/points! Our stay, that wrapped up on May 1, in the Finger Lakes qualified me to meet all of my Crack the Case promo requirements that I previously talked about. So I have been anxiously awaiting the points to show up in my account.

The Crack the Case promo page showed that I received credit for the stays late last week, but the points had not shown up in my account until today. Therefore, from the time of checkout, it took 10 days for the points to show up in my account.

From the Crack the Case promotion, I have now received an additional 138,300 points since I unlocked my fifth bonus case of 125,000 miles. I could receive an additional 60,000 miles if I opened the credit card, or even 80,000 miles from a separate email they sent to me, but as I have discussed before, we are on hold for opening any new cards until after we secure a new mortgage.

For some reason the 750 points I received upon arrival to the hotel for spinning their wheel game have not showed up yet in the account. In addition, I had registered for several promos (for example, 3,000 bonus points for stays in April, or 3,000 points for your third night stay) ahead of the trip in hopes of double dipping on some of the bonus miles since I did not receive any stay points for the Friends and Family rate. I will probably give the system until the end of this week before I start asking where the 750 points are in my account. Any bonus points from other promotions will just have to be a loss (since they were a bonus anyways), except I am completely baffled why they have not gone through.

I have been keeping an eye on all of our American Airlines AAdvantage accounts also to see if any of the Fortune Cookie promo points have shown up but still nothing. I am beginning to wonder if those points will ever actually show up in the end only because of the nature of how the promo was conducted and allowing everyone to try multiple times with different email addresses.
