CC miles are redeemable miles only; they do not count towards elite status. However, they
do count towards your "lifetime miles." Once you reach 1 million lifetime miles, you get Gold-for-life status regardless of your flying. (This applies to AA only; on UA, the CC miles do not count towards lifetime status.)
