When you were earning miles in the 90s and 00s , all miles ( flown, bonus, credit card etc ) counted towards earning Lifetime status , so if earning 100% bonuses as a platinum or executive platinum member, you needed to fly only 500k for Gold and 1M for Platinum ( 5 years as an EP member could easily get lifetime platinum )
It offers noting beyond this, but never has ; once you earn the lifetime platinum status, can just rest on ones laurels and enjoy what it offers
What do you expect AA to do for you once you have completed its highest lifetime status? if you studied the programme , you must have known that you had everything to offer, many years ago
In fairness, it should be remembered that until 2011 the MM scheme was opaque, at best. It was discussed on FT, but my recollection is that it was not referenced in the Aadvantage terms and conditions. From memory, it was pointed out on here that it was referred to on the Irish AA website, but nowhere else. OP hasn't said this is his situation, but it is possible that there are customers who received gold at 1MM, platinum at 2MM and accordingly expected executive platinum at another threshold. Since 2011, however, the rules have been clear.
