With the event sponsored by Citi, that gives me hope that credit card spend will continue to run up our lifetime counters after the change is made to how lifetime status is earned. I'm currently at 8.2 million lifetime. As Aadvantage works today, I will probably pass 10MM within a year or two. With all the rumors of changing how lifetime status will be earned, I've been afraid that my credit card spend and Bankdirect miles would no longer help push up my PTD miles. Without those, passing 10MM would probably take me a couple of decades....
