My US Airways miles have been transferred into my American Airlines account. This is a screenshot from my AAdvantage account.

My American Airlines mile balance shows the correct total.

I also applied for a new US Airways card last week and was approved. After I make my first purchase, and the statement closes in about a month, I should earn 50,000 bonus miles.
