I could have earned the same number (almost 4k) of miles in any of my three main programs (UA, AA and DL being the biggest) but with no hesitation put all the miles to AA to help with MM. So I keep giving AA the bonus mile revenue for no other reason than MM.

Both very good points and I’m now convinced that DL should count all miles toward MM status.
But, having said that, we’d better hope that some DL lurkers are reading this thread. They stopped asking me for any long-term strategic input so my opinion, as usual, counts for squat.
