I was just notified that I hit the 1 million mark. I guess I now receive my lifetime Gold and eight 500 mile upgrades. What other "gifts" do I receive?
Well, you do get the gift of getting your new thread merged into the existing one
You get an elite card with 1 million miles imprinted on it.
You might get bag tags. I don't know if that is just for EXPs or not.

AA Gold Desk Customer Service will be paying you a visit soon to introduce you to the Gold Club's secret handshake. Shhhhhhh!

I made LT Gold late August. About 2 weeks later this past Saturday I got the new elite card and 2 bag tags.
To my surprise, the new elite card shows Expiration Date 02/2011?! I thought the new elite card should not show expiration date at all since the letter does say about Life Time Gold.
I did a text search for "million" in the opening page of that thread and had no problems finding information on the million mile program. I hope that finding it is as easy for you.
Most of my Aadvantage miles come from credit card purchases. Aadvantage World Mastercard, Aadvantage American Express, and CitiBusiness Aadvantage Mastercard. I have 90 additional cards on each account for employees, children, wife and parents. When I passed the 12 Million miles mark I received a 100,000 mile bonus. However, I don't know if it was from AA or Citibank. That was over 2 years ago.

That's unbelievable!

Makes me wonder about a few things, too*.
What kind of business has 90 employees who only charge an average of $305 per month on their business credit cards? And isn't the OP really missing out here? If he's earning a million or so miles per year right now, think how many he could earn if employee and family spending averaged more than $3663 a year per card.
*Assuming my calculations are correct, of course. Starting at 1 million miles earned per year, I divided 273 cards (273 = 1 per each of 3 accounts for the OP, and 90 per each of 3 accounts for the other folks). Then I divided that figure, $36663 per year, by 12 months. Ta da! $305 per month per person

Wow! That's an amazing amount of earning. Given your Citi spend + your proclivity for the BOS3X, I'm actually surprised that it took you two years to earn 2 MM. You were on pace to earn more than 800K AAdvantage miles this spring alone just from BOS3X (40 BOS-LAX-BOS MRs during the promo period). Add in all your other flying and your massive credit card spend and all I can say is just wow! On top of that, you control approx 8-10% of outstanding AMR stock --double wow!
First time poster. Learned of website through seat mate on BOS-LAX-BOS mileage run. I just finished my 30th round trip @ 20,888 miles per round trip, for a total of 626,640 miles, thus far. All tickets purchased at $159.00 or $179.00. I have 10 more round trips scheduled before May 31, the end of the promotion.
I contacted one of our designated contract reps and she stated they do extended favors for us because we have a lucrative contract and we own or are in control of 8, 9 or 10 percent of outstanding AMR shares.

Which could also make one wonder why someone earning a million miles a year, mostly from CC spending, would be out doing 40 MRs. Needs more miles?
And someone that busy has time for 40 MRs? And controlling all that stock? Triple wow!
(That would be around 28 million shares of stock, BTW. Worth around $227 million--not far from a quarter of a billion dollars--at today's stock prices.)
