Why wasn't this considered?
AA and UA don't offer anything more than their equivalent of Gold to be earned via MM status - AA will get you Plat for life at 2 MM (but no chance for ExPlat for life); UA will get you PremEx for life at 1 MM (and Red Carpet Club for life at 2 MM) - they do not have 1K for life.

DL and CO to my knowledge are the only ones offering Platinum for life...I believe CO also requires 4 MM.
