What is the 1M status based on? See, somebody was talking about eshopping bonuses. I thought you had to have 1,000,000 miles flown. Lets say somebody has flown 400,000 as a Platinum (earned 800,000 miles) and has earned 200,000 miles through the credit card, eShopping, Dining, etc., they've earned a million miles (but their account is say 250,000 because they've burned miles) do they get the 1M designation? See my confusion.

Sorry to ask, I'm sure this has been covered before.
