I don't know how the MM program will be impacted. When BA made their big changes a few months ago, they converted whatever percentage of the old target you were at to the same percentage of the new target. So if an SQC is $1 spent and the new "MM" requirement is 300K SQC, if you were at 750K SQM (i.e. 75%), they would put you at 225K. Or if SQM are being inflated and there are going to be a lot more SQC such that now you need 2MM SQC, they'd put you at 1.5MM.

But I think the US3 have kept mileage for liftetime status even as they've moved away from it for annual status, haven't they? So there are precedents either way.

I haven't really seen anything about it.

Yes, we do. I wouldn't have posted this thread otherwise.
