UA does, various status levels at 1million, 2million, 3million, and 4million miles. Called the Million Miler program. If your objective is just lifetime *G status then OZ (Asiana) is probably easiest, but not a great program otherwise.
I suspect others do as well but it's not something I keep up on since UA has been my primary ever since the merger with CO.

Yup. I was going for LPP status but too far away to get it in the notice period SQ gave before ceasing to offer for new lifetime status.
