I'm at 1MM...I'm pretty sure I know how to see how many program miles to date she has. What I was saying was I didn't know off the top of my head that instant.

when going together, let her get the car & hotel mi's....

how much is a lot?

good luck...
No, no business traveling. We have a little one on the way so I know in a few years we'll need two of us with status if we want to sit upfront for family vacations. I get all the miles from CCs because I'm working on 2MM. Getting her to 1MM is a 2nd priority.

Thanks for reminding me why I don't like to start posts on the AA board.

Why does it matter how many she needs? The question was is it possible to transfer out of AA, into another program, and then back into AA without losing a lot of miles. How many miles she has, I have or anyone else has doesn't matter.

Great info--thanks.
