OR are they not combining lifetime miles until the NEW program goes into effect, which I am afraid is what they will do.

If they did combine for 2011, then which program do you qualify under? I would hope it would be the one you have designated to earn your benefits (SWUs, etc...).

I have a question into 1Kvoice on this and will see what they say and report back.

If they don't count combined miles this year then I will be 60K short on UA and as a result only get 2P for life which REALLY stinks. (I really dont think I can put in 60K of mileage runs in the last 3 months of the year).

I can guarantee you I will NOT be going for 2MM to get 1P, it took me too long to get this far and be cut short at the end.
+1

If this is the direction, I would love to see them offer the option of topping off to the next level over the next year or two so that you can get the legacy benefits. I would happily wait to get 1P for life.
