I have about 9 myself (thanks to my credit cards getting replaced a few times due to suspected fraud). The different numbers date back to the days when there was no live connection to the FFP database to check the elite status. 9922 FTL 2220 SEN was easy to spot on the card and in the DCS to print the status on the boarding pass/manifest etc.

I don't think they will move to the customer number because of the possibility of the fraud etc. They are working on a major merge of all databases and will move to a 'TravelID' which will have one ID for one person which will work in all LH group systems.
