For UA it's BIS UA metal only. At the merger there was a bit of an adjustment since CO did count parter miles and PQM bonuses (and some other stuff) for lifetime.

While I pass no judgement verbally on people who advertise their airline status by way of baggage tags and/or clothing, THAT individual...he's not human, I'm convinced of it.

question for those 2MM and up. Does the status show-up on your boarding card(other than ACMM) in the comment section and is it any different on the flight manifest? All I see on the manifest is *SM.

2MM and higher show exactly the same as 1MM on the boarding card and the manifest.

I use tags when travelling with spouse as has waltzed off with some else’s roll aboard before and while I could in theory buy tags never remember until last minute so use the AC ones. No one looks at them as far as I can tell and crew just know you are a MM as noted above.

Kind of has to happen because the program is now a few years old and many 1MMs will graduate to 2MM.
Agreed that VIPs do get the folder and the special stuff - but that is why they are VIPs. They can also lose VIP status if they lose their connection to the corporate partner or entity they are with.

That might be the official answer. However, in practice, there are a couple of groups, within A.C., who do know the difference. As a result the extra service is noticed and appreciated.
