I would maintain A3 as *G and stash the rest in a program where you can redeem the miles with minimal surcharges (i.e. UA or AC).

Also if I were you I'd start planning to get rid of those 300k on LH, since they don't last forever and it might take a while to spend all maximizing their volume (i.e. in premium cabins).
I forgot about the LH Lifetime but maybe my brain just deleted it for irrelevance: isn't it something like you have to be over 65y.o. and have been SEN for the past 10 consecutive years or something?

You are right of course about the bet. 10 years seems to be a long time in FFPs.

Thanks for the advice!
