That would give you status when flying which means lounge access and the like, especially at 2 million.

ps so nice to see gay married couples show up in flyertalk..
Thanks for the PS. Unfortunately, my miles go back to the TWA (triple miles) days and then those turned into American miles, so I don't really have a way of moving to AMEX SPG. I'm actually at 813,000 program to date miles on AA, so getting to 1,000,000 will probably happen. But by then, they may raise the bar higher... Probably 100000 of those miles are from actual travel (back in the tripple miles days) and the rest is from credit card purchases or churning....
