Just remember that the lifetime MVP Gold for 1 million miles on AS is BIS miles and doesn't include the 100% MVP Gold bonuses. Lifetime Gold on AA comes at 1 million miles from any and all sources, including bonus miles, credit cards, flowers, hotel stays, everything. 1 million BIS miles on AS is extremely tough to get.
