Hi Ben,
I posted this to your original article last year but wasn't sure you'd get it since that article is much older.

I know the literature says 8-10 weeks to see the LPs for the Primary (me), but I get anxious about how honestly AA is executing this promotion. Did your Double-Dip Strategy work out? And did it really take 8-10 weeks before you saw the LPs hit your primary account?
For me, the double LP's normally hit the primary account. 3-4 days after they post to the employee account.
