Ok, thought I was going to lose my mind (what tiny bit is left) trying to read through all the pages, please forgive me if I didn't understand correctly.
I am teetering on 900,000, does this mean that my lifetime miles will now be lowered and the miles I've earned through AAdvantage card, AAshopping or bonus miles through platinum flying won't count towards lifetime gold? Or does it mean that from now on? Sigh....
Also, I read something about they go back to your lifetime of flying with AA. So do they go back in and if some miles from flying were expired, those now count toward my lifetime miles?

Thanks in advance,
VMC
