The comparison continues (air and qualifying miles only, not hotels, cars, credit cards)(to end of Sept)

AC (as SuperElite)
Total miles including bonuses: 213,334
(some of these will contribute to an additional fall promo bonus of 10K miles based on segments that I will not receive until November)
Total status miles: 72,317

LH (as Senator)
Total miles including bonuses 104,359*
Total status miles: 67,359

UA (as 1K)
-- see final post for corrections

*If I was Senator I might have flown a LH plane across the Atlantic 4 times for this extra 10000 air (but not status) miles. This may have only been applicable to flights departing/arriving in US so I may not have taken advantage of it but I have given LH the benefit of the doubt on this one. This number also includes 7K and 20K bonuses for reaching 35K and 20K for requalifying as Senator.

The AC fall promo bonus will continue to add more value.
