Yeah, after I figured out I wasn't flying much with AA after 2010, I burned through what miles I could, and donated the rest to RedCross. So, I have 100k in lifetime miles but no actual miles in AA (hence, the lack of any attachment).
Although maybe qualifying for AA plat is worth more than CX silver/gold? What is the difference (if any) of being a AA plat vs. CX silver, for someone based out of HK? (I don't plan on being in HK forever, though).
