I am 20,000 miles from 2 mil / Forever Gold! I've been striving for this for what seems like FOREVER!!!
You are way ahead of me in posts and you were ahead of me on 2MM -- but I reached 2MM last fall. Moral? Post less, fly more
(really, really just kidding)
I feel your worry -- I was at about 998,000 when NW changed their MM from "All miles" to "EQMs" When I complained, they jacked me around until they said "Sorry, to late to appeal."
I was so pissed I didn't fly them paid for nearly 5 years -- domestic was mostly AA (not enough for status) and whomever was cheaper TATL (a bunch of MartinAir and LTU plus some BA and NZ) Then one year NW/CO was cheapest for 3 TATL trips which gave me Silver with a shot at Gold and I got hooked again.
